The City of Maple Ridge hosted an Innovation in Emerging Cities forum on Wednesday, April 4 at The ACT.
The forum was held to foster an innovative and creative culture for industry, government and education.
It featured keynote presentations from Steve Dotto on “How technology is changing everything” and Dr. Salvador Ferreras on what businesses need to do to prepare for “Industry 4.0”, in addition to panel discussions with leaders from industry, post-secondary education, First Nations and government.
The forum also included a trade show, as well as a code-a-thon, involving students tasked with development apps for the city’s new open government portal.
