10 companies selected for winter 2017 Get There: Silicon Valley cohort

By CDMN on November 29, 2016

The Canadian Digital Media Network (CDMN) in partnership with Invest Ottawa has accepted 10 companies into the winter 2017 cohort of the Get There: Silicon Valley program.

This is a unique opportunity for Canadian technology startups to benefit from a hands-on experience navigating San Francisco, broadening their networks, meeting investors and connecting with potential clients.

This experience will help companies build a strong foundation and confidence for travelling to the Valley for future business trips. The trip also focuses on building the company’s network and social capital in one of the most critical U.S. markets for technology companies.

Companies landing in the winter 2017 cohort, with their local CDMN hubs in brackets, are:

Blockthrough (DMZ); Brinx Software (Invest Ottawa); Flipd Inc. (Invest Ottawa); Harbr Inc. (Volta Labs); iBionics (Invest Ottawa); Paper Interactive (Innovate Calgary); Permission Click (ICTAM); Site 2020 Inc. (Volta Labs); The Growcer (Invest Ottawa); and Welbi (Invest Ottawa).

It's been a busy month behind the scenes for our team in both Toronto and Waterloo. This week, we're excited to announce our first conference collaboration with the Canadian Digital Media Network (CDMN). 

Speakers and conference goers are encouraged to register for their ANT (promo code: CDMN) prior to the event, record their name, and utilize the tool to easily communicate with fellow peers and professionals who will be attending the Digital Media Forum on April 24th and 25th. The event will see more than 2,000 delegates – representing industry, government and academia, and will travel from across Canada and from as far away as Brazil and the Netherlands to gather in Stratford, Ontario. 

Canada 3.0 2012 will focus on the progress and benefits of digital media as it enriches communication, facilitates knowledge transfer, drives innovation, and improves productivity across all industry verticals.

In support of this approach, Canada’s premier digital media forum will celebrate Canadian leadership in digital media as evidenced by best practices, lessons learned and grassroots initiatives — showcasing our success in business and technology, arts and heritage, research and academia.

If you're interested in attending the Forum, you're able to register here. Our team will be on-site, ready to provide you with more information about our product, and are looking forward to connecting with the many businesses and professionals who will be speaking and exploring the space.
