Our expert project team, in collaboration with Orillia Area CDC and White Tuque is dedicated to helping you protect your business from cybersecurity threats.
The Innovation Collective, which will be managed by the City’s Business Development, Tourism and Modernization Division and supported by an Innovation Collective Operating Committee, will look to streamline processes and support to make it easier and more accessible for local and regional entrepreneurs to participate in and grow their business through the innovation economy.
Innovation collectives create and support new ideas, products, and services. The goal of the Innovation Collective is to attract and support entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences to collaborate, explore and implement digital technologies that create new solutions to solve existing challenges and problems, which results in innovative economic growth. This type of environment fosters creativity, experimentation and risk-taking, which are all essential components of innovation.
