True sovereignty means controlling the tech that keeps Canada’s critical minerals value chain on shore.

Last week at #DiscoveryX, Christian Weedbrook (@_cweedbrook), Founder and CEO of Xanadu, sat down with Sean Silcoff (@SeanSilcoff) to discuss the future of photonic quantum hardware and what it means to scale in Canada.
When asked what he hopes Xanadu's success means for the next generation of founders, "I hope this tells other companies they don't have to leave Canada, or Toronto, to raise money."
Let’s keep building!

Relentless innovation is what sets Ontario’s entrepreneurs apart from anyone in the world.
At this year’s #DiscoveryX conference, I had the pleasure of meeting incredible Ontario businesses and seeing first-hand how digital adoption is taking their ventures to the next level.
