His proposal to create a Tech and Innovation (T&I) team within City Hall shows his clear support for the tech industry. The T&I Team would be in charge of digitizing the permit process, hosting city-backed policy Hackathons, and creating a Startup Division to take a fresh look at the mechanics of city procedures. Besides ‘Tech and Innovation’, the other two pillars of his platform are also inseparable from the tech world. ‘Affordable Vancouver’ aims to build housing, office space, and cut down on costs to enable innovators towards flourishing in Vancouver. In tackling the ‘Mental Health Crisis,’ Khan will also help the creators in the Tech world live with greater levels of wellness outside of work. The ways in which tech can be best utilized to improve mental health are limitless; Khan aims to push forward. Spots are limited so register soon! Time: 6:45pm-9pm, Sept 25th Location: UBC Robson Square

We strive to have as many events as possible accessible under one centralized, low-cost Access Pass, helping participants enjoy the benefits of Vancouver Startup Week with a minimized logistical hassle. This year’s Vancouver Startup Week will take place on September 21-28, 2018, kicking off with our Hackathon, and leading into an actioned-packed week of events.
