“ Canada is one of the world’s leaders in mobile-software development. Venture capitalists have started taking note. Google is certainly taking note. ”
Chris O’Neill, Managing Director, Google Canada
Canada’s performance in wireless technologies and applications continues to draw international investors. Along with a highly educated and experienced workforce, competitive labour costs, world-class R&D and favourable tax rates and benefits, Canada also offers a savvy and fast-growing consumer market: Canadian consumers will spend some $6 billion on mobile devices in 2012 and by the end of that year, the number of smart phones in the country is expected to equal that of portable PCs.
