SUBJECT: HIGH TECHNOLOGY, HIGH TECH INDUSTRIES, CURRENT TRENDS IN CANADA

The following report was requested by you on the 20th of February, for which we chose high technology and technological trends in Canada. With this report we included numerous conclusions and recommendations. We came to theses conclusions and recommendations based on various primary and secondary researches. Our primary research focused on business owners in local communities that are directly affected by high technology.

High technology, although confusing, is defined and measured by the Economic Council of Canada (ECC). There are many Canadian high tech industries which are constantly changing to compensate for increasing levels of technology. Companies and their employees must be aware of these technological advances in order to compete in the global market and to take advantage of government funding. Our report covers many recommendations and conclusions related to these areas of high technology and technological advancements in Canada.

We are thankful to those individuals who have given their time in for interviews. Their knowledge set the groundwork for the areas that we researched. We are also grateful for all members of the Renegades for their exceeding efforts on making this a valid and modern report.

Please call upon any member of the Renegades if we may provide you with any insightful recommendations or help clarify any conclusions made in this report. We would be honored to confabulate on this topic.
