As has been discussed during past BetaKit Lives, the Canadian tech ecosystem is exploding, showcasing both big funding rounds and exits.

This boom time has also come amidst rampant flooding, extreme temperatures, and wildfires that have taken too many Canadian lives.

To survive, Canada (and the world) needs entrepreneurs willing to solve today’s big problems. On Thursday, July 29th at 4:00PM EDT, BetaKit will be joined by three Canadian tech leaders attacking those problems head-on to make the world a better place.
