Vancouver, BC, October 3, 2018--(T-Net)--Three B.C. tech companies have won opportunities to work directly with government to improve programs and services for British Columbians.
B.C.'s Startup in Residence (STIR) program connects tech companies with government to rapidly co-develop, test and launch solutions to real-world public-sector challenges.
Tech experts work with government professionals during a 16-week residency to develop cutting-edge solutions the companies own and can build on, and market to new customers.
The following companies are the successful proponents of the program's second intake:
"B.C.'s tech sector has the entrepreneurial spirit and expertise to improve services people count on by developing solutions with government in a quick, collaborative manner," said Jinny Sims, Minister of Citizens' Services. "We have become more innovative, agile and result-oriented, making it easier for companies of all sizes to do business with government."
In addition to owning the intellectual property, companies can reference the B.C. government as a customer, have a greater understanding about working with government, and explore opportunities to contract for further development, access or maintenance of the solution they created at the end of their residence.
"UrbanLogiq is honoured to support the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation in its work to advance an inclusive and lasting cross-government vision of reconciliation," said Mark Masongsong, CEO, UrbanLogiq. "As a B.C. company that works with governments around the world, it is exciting to see the B.C. government take such strong leadership in embracing innovation to support the public service."
