About Event

For our third event in the Tech Thursday Ottawa series, we’re tackling a pressing national issue: Is there a productivity crisis in Canada?

In 2024, the Bank of Canada broke the glass on what it called Canada’s deepening productivity challenges—warning that our lagging output per worker threatens long-term growth, competitiveness, and living standards. But what does this mean in real terms? For tech? For capital? For policy?

This panel will bring together voices from government, venture, and industry to explore the root causes and what can actually be done about it. Is it a question of innovation? Talent? Regulation? Or all of the above?

We’re excited to welcome:

Andriana Vega, VP of Government Affairs at CVCA – bringing a policy and capital markets lens to the issue
Additional panelists TBA
Moderated by: Darryl Bandoro, Principal at VU Venture Partners

Tech Thursday is a space for real conversations—no sales, no fluff. Just smart people talking about what actually matters in tech and business, especially for those building in Canada.
