In space, a supercluster forms massive structures of galaxies called filaments or supercluster complexes. Here in British Columbia, the Canadian digital supercluster was designed to build networks of “big and small tech companies to develop, scale and unleash digital technology breakthroughs,” says Sue Paish, the CEO of the Digital Technology Supercluster.

The initiative is a joint Canadian government and member collective that was designed to bring together business, academia, community and government agencies to work on and solve some of our biggest challenges. Paish says, “We have more than 1100 members and growing, who are dedicated to advancing net-zero technologies, securing food supply chains, building a healthier Canada and developing a skilled workforce.”

Since its inception, the five Canadian superclusters across Canada have supported over 490 projects that are valued at more than $3.5 billion, a number that includes more than 80 COVID-19 response projects. In 2022, the federal government committed to investing another $750 million through to 2028 to the five different innovation clusters.

We invited Sue Paish of BC’s Digital Technology Supercluster to join us for a Conversation That Matters on the progress and challenges of developing a “Silicon Valley North.”
