Media

Exchange

This is the

first media exchange we are doing. We talk with Ishu Sing (Website,

LinkedIn), founder of the Toronto based

podcast Starting to Know Business (iTunes, Listen Notes). We thought it would be great to

look at the respective countries. So, in this audio-only cooperation, we will

talk about where to look if you want to evaluate entering Canada, as a startup

based abroad.

In his part

of the cooperation, we will talk about the diversity of Germany and that there

is no default choice for setting up shop in the country as well.

Strong and interesting startups are

all over Canada.

Canada

Canada is a

G7 nation and should be on the list for international expansion for every

aspiring startup. For some, it could be the first choice in North America. https://www.canada.ca/en.html

Why not learn from entrepreneurs and executives who

are open to share their favorite books. We skimmed through some recommendations

and that is what we found.

Startup

Hubs in Canada

I feel that right now the startups

in Toronto are developing a bit faster than Vancouver … Toronto is growing very

very strong.

Toronto

We start with the largest city by population and the home town of Ishu, Toronto

(https://www.toronto.ca/). Much of the startup activity is here concentrated

in the so-called MaRs Discovery District. MaRs was originally founded in 2000

to commercialize public-funded research with local companies. You can learn

more here: https://www.marsdd.com/

Montreal is coming up with lots of

strong tech startups as well.

Montreal

The second-largest city in Canada, also close to the US border.

This city is home to the French-speaking population of Canada, French

Canadians. A knowledge of French is not required, but helpful. You can learn

more about the startup scene in the city here: https://www.bonjourstartupmtl.ca/en/

as well as find some examples of Montreal based startups here: https://builtinmtl.com/.
