Toronto has been making a lot of news. It has created more tech jobs over the past few years than Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C. and Seattle combined, and it has leapfrogged New York City. Why are companies and people investing in Toronto? It's because it's different. It's a tech city that is focusing on more than just growth, exits and wealth, but also impact. Toronto is investing in its people and, in turn, its people are making a positive impact in the world by solving big societal challenges and creating an environment where everyone can succeed.
