Vancouver to takeover rebranded Collision

👋 Good morning, and welcome to (or welcome back to) VTJ’s Sunday Briefing: your weekly digest of the city’s innovation news, deals, insights, and more.

By now, you’ve likely heard the news that Vancouver dropped four places in Startup Genome’s 2024 global startup ecosystem ranking — sliding from 30th to 34th globally.

With the announcement of Vancouver hosting the rebranded Collision and more meetups hosted on how to make Vancouver a better tech hub, I’m confident that we can expect a positive change in our ranking in future reports.

Keen to join these conversations? Don’t miss out on the many events we’re hosting in the coming weeks.

Now onto today’s briefing. It’s 1,020 words: a four-minute read.
