You probably recognize the bright blue building on Prescott Street (it’s hard to miss), but you might not know who it’s home to. It’s the headquarters of Bluedrop, a world leader in e-learning, simulation training, and workforce development. Having started his tech company in St. John’s long before tech companies were even a thing here, Emad knows something about cultivating a vibrant start-up ecosystem. Emad chats with Carol about seeing risk in a different light, why irrationality is a good thing, and how immigration is a key ingredient for the future of tech in our province.
