Media Exchange
This is the first media exchange we are doing. We talk with Ishu Sing ( Website,LinkedIn), founder of the Toronto based podcastStarting to Know Business(iTunes,Listen Notes ). We thought it would be great to look at the respective countries . So, in this audio only cooperation, we will talk about where to look if you want to evaluate entering Canada, as a startup based abroad.
In his part of the cooperation we will talk about the diversity of Germany and that there is no default choice for setting up shop in the country as well.
Strong and interesting startups are all over Canada.

Canada is a G7 nation and should be on the list for international expansion for every aspiring startup. For some it could be the first choice in North America. https://www.canada.ca/en.html

Startup Hubs in Canada
I feel that right now the startups in Toronto are developing a bit faster than Vancouver ... Toronto is growing very very strong.

Toronto
We start with the largest City by population and the home town of Ishu, Toronto (https://www.toronto.ca/). Much of the startup activity is here concentrated in the so-called MaRs Discovery District. MaRs was originally founded in 2000 to commercialize public funded research with local companies. You can learn more here: https://www.marsdd.com/
Montreal is coming up with lots of strong tech startups as well.

Montreal
The second largest city in Canada, also close to the US border. This city is home to the French speaking population of Canada, French Canadians. A knowledge of French is not required, but helpful. You can learn more about the startup scene in the city here: https://www.bonjourstartupmtl.ca/en/ as well as find some examples of Montreal based startups here: https://builtinmtl.com/.
Vancouver
Vancouver is located on the pacific coast of Canada. They have been one of the first tech hubs in Canada. They are also close to Seattle, with the headquarters of Amazon and Microsoft. You can learn more about the local startup scene on the Vancouver based blog https://techcouver.com/
Calgary
A few people may remember Calgary from theOlympic Winter Games in 2010. If not, it is located to the north of the population centers in Canada, in the Rocky Mountains. Note that the city is even for Canada a bit on the chilly side. The focus of the city is mostly on energy like fossil fuels and mining/drilling business. You can learn more about the local startup scene here https://www.startupcalgary.ca/
Honorary Mention Waterloo (close to Toronto)
Waterloo is a smaller city very close to Toronto and relative to it's population (just above 100.000) it is punching above its weight as a startup hub. We found an interesting collection of links here ( https://www.foundersbeta.com/waterloo -startups/the-most-complete-guide-to-starting-a-startup-in-waterloo/), and you can also learn more here:https://www.communitech.ca/
