Global technology titans are choosing Ontario!
Earlier this week, I joined the University of Toronto and AMD to launch a new AI and computing research lab that will train the next generation of tech workers.
When industry leaders partner with Ontario's exceptional institutions, not only do students gain the real-world experience they need for successful careers, but we also strengthen our position as a global epicentre for tech innovation. #ProtectOntario
