  • BC's Innovation Economy - Can we Train, Retain and Attract the Best & Brightest?

    BC's Innovation Economy - Can we Train, Retain and Attract the Best & Brightest?
    Oct 23 2025

    With British Columbia’s economy on a slow downward trajectory, one question stands out:

    Can the innovation economy boost the province’s performance?


    The answer might be yes if we can train, retain, and attract the best and brightest minds. But that’s no easy task in a world competing fiercely for talent.


    Recent U.S. policy changes, including a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, could give BC an unexpected advantage. But can our strengths outweigh our challenges?


    Join Stuart McNish and an exceptional panel of leaders as they unpack what it will take for BC to lead in innovation and talent attraction:


    • Allen Eaves, STEMCELL Technologies
    • Sue Paish, Digital
    • Marc Low, KPMG
    • Lisa Sparrow, Corix
    • Wendy Hurlburt, Life Sciences BC
    • Karn Manhas, Terramera
