Innisfil Accelerates

Technology is dramatically changing the way we work.  One-third of Canadians have worked in the so-called gig economy. These informal, usually one-off jobs, are providing much needed income. But are also leaving workers a lot more vulnerable. That’s because of limited access to things like insurance and benefits.

These seismic changes are reshaping the way we live and work. But we are still underestimating the sheer scale of transformation still to come. Daniel Copeland and Darren Perlman, co-founders of the SPOT staffing app, are trying to change that. 

A small rural Canadian town 45 minutes north of Toronto is challenging the status quo.

From using Uber as public transit to partnering with the world's top-ranked University based accelerator, Innisfil is a town that is constantly pushing its boundaries.

Listen to the Innisfil Accelerates Podcast with weekly episodes featuring interviews of entrepreneurs in the DMZ Innisfil program, leaders in remote work, other leaders in the world of startups, innovating municipal governments and the future of work.
