The Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Centre (VIATeC) is a conduit that connects people, knowledge and resources to grow a successful technology sector on Vancouver Island.
As part of its leadership role in the advanced technology sector, VIATeC acts as a liaison with industry, government and educational organizations to ensure that Vancouver Island’s potential for growth is fully realized.
Now located at the Vancouver Island Technology Park in beautiful Victoria, BC, VIATeC was founded in 1989. With only a handful of known technology companies, the ambitious mandate to facilitate the development of Vancouver Island as a global centre of excellence for advanced technology was set.
Since VIATeC’s inception the Vancouver Island tech sector has grown to over 1,100 known technology companies, employing more than 15,000 people and generating in excess of $1 billion in annual revenues. The growth of this sector has outpaced the provincial average and moved Vancouver Island to the second largest tech sector in BC.
