MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

FUNDING CUTS REPRESENT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE British Columbia’s technology sector is one of the fastest g row i ng i n Canada, but its future is threatened by a lack of government and private venture support.

“The strength of the industry is reflected in the $19.2 billion in gross domestic product and $31.3 billion in revenue generated by the tech industry in 2017 – the highest levels ever recorded,” according to a statement that BC Tech received from the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology.

The multi-dimensional tech industry in B.C. employs about 14,000 people. That is more than double the number of jobs in B.C.’s mining, forestry, fishing and oil and gas sectors combined.

But, unlike the traditional resource industries that have sustained B.C. for

generations, the tech industry is young, rapidly evolving and subject to brutal competition on a national and global scale. It needs financial and logistics support to nurture startups to commercial success, and keep them in B.C. Yet in May, the Cube, a Vancouver incubator for 20 startup companies specializing in virtual reality and other computer-generated environments, was forced to close after the B.C. government declined to match federal funding.

At the same time, Ottawa pledged more than $52 million to back a similar incubator program in Ontario.

B.C. has extended the Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit to 2023, but this incentive, at 17.5 per cent, is the lowest of all provinces.

B.C. also supports the industry through its four-year-old $100 million BC Tech Fu nd, but the cu rrent govern ment

appears to have a limited appetite to replenish a fund that is being quickly depleted.

Government support is needed now more than ever because of waning private support for B.C. tech.

A recent KPMG report noted that B.C. private venture capital (VC) financing is in sharp decline. In 2017, the latest numbers available, VC funding was $343 million in B.C., down more than 50 per cent from the $787 million seen in 2014.

Powerful as it appears, B.C.’s technology sector is a fragile and skittish young beast. Great ideas are born here, but without foundational and financial support to help startups flourish, they will mature in other provinces or countries.

SCALING TO A

$25 BILLION OPPORTUNITY An environment that could better support scale is holding us back from even stronger performance

ritish Columbia now has more than 10,000 tech companies employing more than 114,000 people, and another 50,000 tech workers in non-tech companies. It is no surprise that B.C.’s fast-growing tech sector is a leading economic driver of growth in the province: technology is a tool empowering businesses, people and governments to tackle important problems and improve lives. Yet we know that a shortage of talent and an environment that could better support scale is holding us back from even stronger performance.

BC Tech’s vision for a province that overcomes these limiting factors is one of inclusive prosperity and far-reaching innovation. That’s why this year, we have focused the Technology Impact Awards (TIAs) on what matters most to build a thriving technology economy, including success on the world stage, growing the number of B.C.based scale and anchor companies, adopting technology across the economy, and showing grit and leadership in the face of challenges. (See a full report on the TIA winners beginning on page 32).

In a small, open economy, B.C. firms’ ability to export

00_BC Tech 2019_64p_2.indd 6

is key to scaling up. Exporting empowers companies to learn from global customers, compete with world leaders and access rewarding new markets. Our Excellence in Global Export award showcases B.C. companies that have achieved export success.

Our Company of the Year award is re-structured to highlight excellence at every stage of the scaling journey from startup to growth to scale-up to anchor. Each stage is crucial, but B.C.’s biggest opportunity is to increase the number of homegrown scale and anchor companies, the foundation of a thriving, sustainable ecosystem.

On the scaling journey B.C.’s tech leaders will undoubtedly face challenges: the road to success is rarely a straight line. The 2019 Spirit of BC Tech True Grit award celebrates the stories of people and teams who dug in and kept going when times got tough. Their peers will be inspired (and relieved) by the knowledge that they are not alone in encountering obstacles that need dogged determination as well as passion and ingenuity to overcome.

A highlight this year was the strength of applications for the TIA recognizing Excellence in Technology Adoption, given to an organization showing standout progress in adopting technology to deliver better business outcomes.

The range of finalists from tires to gold mining to government truly proves that, today, every company is a tech company.

SMALLER CENTRES SHARE

The TIAs are ultimately about bringing the community together to build connections and celebrate our successes.

Technology isn’t just generating opportunity in urban centres like Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria and Kelowna.

Improving connectivity enables remote work and remote offices: witness Traction on Demand’s new hub in Nelson, for example, or Metal Tech Alley in Trail or the thriving gaming community in Nanaimo. Technology jobs both within and beyond the tech sector are opening up new career paths and driving economic diversification across the province.

Statistics Canada reported earlier this year that Canada’s

digital economy is growing much faster than the rest of the economy and is already bigger than traditional industries such as mining, forestry and oil and gas. It is good to acknowledge the scale of today’s digital economy, but its importance is not to compete with traditional industries but to transform them to become more efficient and safer and to reduce their environmental impact. Technology can help protect and grow employment across every sector of the economy.

Forward-looking economic policy doesn’t pick winners or pit one industry against another, but it builds the foundations of a sustainable prosperous economy of the future to make winners of us all on the global stage.

The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that the GDP growth impact of accelerating technology adoption is up to 1.5 per cent. Modelling the potential impact on the B.C. economy, we could be enjoying perhaps as much as $25 billion of additional annual economic output by 2030.

By working in partnership across our ecosystem – leveraging the strengths of industry, researchers, educators, investors, non-profits and government – I am confident British Columbia can overcome what holds us back and surge ahead.

B.C.’s $25 billion opportunity is to double not only the tech industry but technology adoption and innovation in every B.C. industry. Success in this mission will power our province to become a world leader in the emerging economy and ensure inclusive prosperity for generations of British Columbians to come. É

WOMEN HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN VERY UNDERREPRESENTED IN ANGEL INVESTING j Stephanie Andrew Vice-president, finance, Timia Capital Corp., and co-founder, Women’s Equity Lab

tephanie Andrew couldn’t help but notice a quintessential commonality among the speakers and attendees at angel investment events she began organizing in Victoria in 2014. “Everyone attending was pretty much mostly men,” recalled the vice-president of finance at Timia Capital Corp.

The scarcity of women at those events wasn’t a fluke. Only 22 per cent of all angel investors in the U.S. are women, according to a 2017 report from Angel Capital Association.

Meanwhile, the 2017 Halo Report from the Angel Resource Institute and Florida Atlantic University’s Tech Runway found that only 25.7 per cent of angel investments involved deals that went to a company with a female founder.

Comparable data isn’t available for Canada, but a 2017 report from the National Angel Capital Organization estimated there are between 20,000 and 50,000 angels in Canada, leaving a significant demographic untapped for investing in early-stage companies.

“Women have traditionally been very under-represented in angel investing,” says Andrew, who in 2017 co-founded the Women’s Equity Lab, an angel investment

group that brought together 20 female accredited investors to pool capital and expertise.

“Potential angels that were not involved in angel investing are getting involved in learning by doing with a small amount of capital so that they can write bigger cheques down the road,” Andrew says, adding $120,000 was pooled during the first round.

The first round closed with investments made in four B.C.-based tech companies specializing in everything from driverless car technology to generating algorithms for self-publishing.

The second round will feature 23 women, and organizations from other parts of Canada have been speaking to the Women’s Equity Lab about expanding its model throughout the country.

Women in B.C. technology are competing for a slice of a smaller pie of angel and venture capital financing, according to KPMG’s British Columbia Technology Report Card 2018.

The report found that angel investing in B.C.’s tech sector declined from $118 million in 2015 to $45 million in 2017, and venture capital funding dropped to $343 million in 2017, down from $630 million a year earlier.

“The presence of [investment] funding is essential to ensuring companies are able to continuously grow their business in the B.C. market,” says Jameel Ahamed, partner, consulting, and B.C. lead, digital transformation and innovation, at KPMG and co-author of the report.

to its own angel investor tax credit to spur declining investments in early-stage companies.

After being introduced in the latest provincial budget in February, the amount an individual can claim in one year under the angel tax credit program doubled from $60,000 to $120,000.

Meanwhile, the maximum amount an eligible business can raise through the tax credit program also doubled, to $10 million from $5 million.

“It has been pretty popular but it has not been revised or updated for about 12 or 13 years,” says B.C. Jobs, Trade and Technology Minister Bruce Ralston.

“The degree to which angel investors are more willing to invest is the degree to which more capital will be available [to early-stage companies],” Ralston says. “It’s only one mechanism but it needed a refresh and some changes to make it more effective.”

BC Tech Association CEO Jill Tipping says the angel tax credit is an important program but the previous limit proved to be too low in most cases.

“It essentially meant that you were probably getting an exemption for one investment,” says Tipping, whose industry group supports and advocates on behalf of the province’s technology sector.

“A perennial issue for us is that the amounts of angel money available aren’t as big as would be useful [to the startup community].”

Andrew, meanwhile, says angels like herself welcome the changes, but she sees other avenues the government could take to boost growth.

“One idea is to provide a bigger tax credit to new investors, for example 40 per cent for a new angel’s first $50,000,” she says. “This would encourage the participation of new investors.” É

BRIEF Startup hits stride with gig job app A Vancouver startup that launched with “family and friends” funding has apparently hit its stride this year with an app that helps temporary “gig” workers find jobs and employers find short-term staff.

The key to the popularity of the Grizzly Force app is likely that workers are paid automatically at the end of the shift every day.

The mobile app is designed on the format of Uber, the popular ride-hailing software, explains Grizzly Force founder and CEO Sandro Ferrari, 35, who started Grizzly Force in 2016.

He feels the company really launched in 2018 when it hit 10,000 users, including 150 employers. From 70 to 200 temporary workers are hired through the app every working day, Ferrari says.

Like Uber, the Grizzly Force app includes a map showing the location of temporary jobs and, like the ride-hailing service, it provides near-instant payment.

Ferrari reached an agreement with Interac, the Canadian interbank network, that allows the transfer of funds via computer. Gig workers using the Grizzly Force app have their paycheque land in their bank account shortly after their shift ends. Grizzly Force takes care of deductions and payroll for employers and pays the balance directly to the worker.

The employer then reimburses Grizzly Force within 30 days.

Most of the employers using the Grizzly Force app are in the distribution and transport business, often needing warehouse workers for deliveries for Amazon and

Sandro Ferrari, founder of Grizzly Force • SUBMITTED

Apple, Ferrari says, but he adds that Grizzly has provided workers for many industries, including technology.

“The workers can be someone looking for a short-term job or contract work, someone new to Vancouver seeking work or even a college student who needs beer money for the weekend,” he says.

The company started with $250,000 in seed money from a number of sources. “I begged and borrowed,” Ferrari recalls. “The money came mostly from family and friends.”

Grizzly Force works out of offices on Alexander Street in East Vancouver and has grown from a staff of three to 14 people.

BRIEF

Industry must take training role: Google Canada director Sabrina Geremia, Google’s country director for Canada, told a Vancouver audience this spring that tech training is too important to leave just in the hands of college professors.

During her April address to the Canadian Club, Geremia urged businesses to prioritize retraining their workers as technology continues to transform the nature of work. She says Canada can’t rely solely on colleges and universities to train the workforce.

She points to one of Google’s own initiatives that sent some of her team to Surrey to train businesses on digital tools.

The company is also launching what it calls its IT Cert program, in which Google employees train people with minimal experience, allowing them to become

job-ready professionals in eight to 12 months.

The team has already been assisting with training at Surrey Public Library.

“We know that digital transformation is happening, we know that that’s the way to global prosperity and we know that that’s happening across businesses in Canada,” Geremia says. “We need to train Canadians to always be learning and to use the tools. It’s really just about supporting skills and training for the next generation of the workforce that’s going to be based in Vancouver.”

Geremia hints that Google, which does not have an office in Vancouver, is looking this way. “I can tell you my folks are out here every single week – nothing to announce right now, unfortunately.”

The 2018 BC Tech Salary Survey, conducted for HR Tech Group in partnership with Mercer, has been the definitive resource for the high-tech sector in B.C. for more than 20 years. The latest edition includes data on 16,651 individual salaries, coming from 121 companies located in the province. There are 191 positions represented.

Even with increasing salaries, 96 per cent of organizations that participated in the survey reported having difficulties filling some positions. The most difficult skills to find are software development and programming, cited by 59 per cent of companies as being the most difficult positions to fill.

Employee benefits are also enhanced. The survey revealed that 44 per cent of participating companies provide registered retirement savings plan matching payments and 28 per cent provide maternity leave salary top-up benefits.

If B.C.’s tech companies want to increase the number of female employees, I would urge them to include retirement benefits and maternity leave top-up payments to their total compensation packages.

B.C. tech companies are struggling to hire the talent they need. Salaries are on the rise and there is no sign of a reversal in this trend, especially as major tech firms continue to set up shop in town. There has never been a better time to pursue a career in tech.

Now more than ever, B.C. tech companies need to pay attention to salaries to remain competitive in this talent market.

hemotherapy takes a shotgun-like approach to treating cancer, blasting tumorous and healthy cells without discrimination.

But a new made-in-B.C. treatment has the potential to function like a “directed missile” targeting cancer cells while minimizing collateral damage to healthy surrounding tissues, according to Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD) venture partner Lana Janes at the University of British Columbia.

Lana Janes, venture partner at Centre for Drug Research and Development: partnership with Triumf led to development • SUBMITTED

00_BC Tech 2019_64p_2.indd 15

Her organization has partnered with national particle physics lab Triumf, just down the road from the CDRD on the University Endowment Lands, to develop the treatment requiring hard-to-come-by isotopes.

“Given their world-class expertise in radiochemistry and isotope production, and our deep experience in developing therapeutic agents and working with clinicians, it made perfect sense for us to work together in this burgeoning field right now,” says Janes.

Known as targeted alpha therapy, the treatment

involves the development of a drug that carries with it a radioactive particle, a nuclear-tipped warhead if you will, that delivers bursts of energy to attack cancer cells with minimal impact on healthy tissue.

Even more novel breakthroughs appear to be afoot after Ottawa revealed in the 2018 federal budget it was earmarking $293 million to Triumf over the next five years, clearing the path for B.C. to be a global leader in nuclear medicine.

of radioactive substances to research and treat diseases.

Medical isotopes are notoriously scarce, and Triumf is one of the few centres in the world with expertise in their production, owing to its possession of the world’s largest cyclotron – a type of particle accelerator.

And with nearly $300 million now in hand, one of the hallmark projects ahead for Triumf will be the creation of the Institute for Advanced Medical Isotopes (IAMI).

IAMI, which broke ground at the end of April, will provide space for Triumf’s research partners and facilitate more industry collaborations.

Triumf’s new, five-year strategic plan goes into effect next year, with designs on ramping up commercialization and research coming out of its labs.

“There’s a real excitement growing around the area of nuclear medicine that we haven’t seen in a long time,” says Triumf Innovations CEO Kathryn Hayashi, who runs the national lab’s commercialization arm.

“You’ve got these incredible investments in worldclass science infrastructure that is being put to the use of developing new therapies to benefit our health, to cure incurable diseases. It’s a wonderful story.”

About 18 per cent of Triumf’s annual revenue stems from dozens of private-sector partners requiring access to the lab’s capabilities, Hayashi adds. É

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN – OFTEN FORGOTTEN BUT INCREASINGLY VALUABLE PROTECTING THE LOOK OF YOUR PRODUCT CAN CREATE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Written by Roni M. Jones

C

onsumers have more options than ever when deciding what to buy.

This has empowered consumers to make purchasing decisions based on the aesthetic qualities of a product, not just the functionality. For example, there are numerous models of smartwatches on the market, some designed by big tech companies, others by more traditional watchmakers. While most offer a similar array of useful functions, such as the ability to call or text, only a few smartwatches also make a fashion statement. Aesthetics play an even greater role in driving consumer loyalty to specific brands. As the visual design of products becomes more valuable, securing protection becomes increasingly important. An industrial design registration (referred to as a “design patent” in the United States) can protect these aesthetic features and provide a competitive advantage.

Generally, all physical products with outwardly visible original aesthetic features may be eligible for industrial design protection. Industrial design registrations have traditionally been used to protect aesthetic features of products such as automobiles, consumer electronics, footwear, packaging, etc. Today, these registrations are increasingly directed to software-based graphical user interfaces

(GUIs) including features such as dividers, widgets, icons, text, graphics, animations and the placement, sizing and orientation thereof.

An industrial design can be registered in Canada by filing an application with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.

Among other requirements, the design will be registered if: (1) the applicant has not publicly disclosed the design more than one year before the filing date (this is often referred to as the “one year grace period”); and (2) the design is novel. For a design to be novel, it cannot be the same as, and must differ substantially from, previous designs of the same or analogously similar products that were publicly available at the time of filing the application. Notably, industrial design protection may be available even when patent protection is not.

As of November 5, 2018, Canadians can also file international design applications via the Hague Agreement. This can streamline the foreign application process and may result in lower overall costs when building a global design portfolio.

Once an industrial design is registered in Canada, the owner can exclude others from manufacturing or selling any product with a substantially similar

design for up to 15 years. This right may provide a competitive advantage and may represent a considerable asset to your business. Applying for an industrial design registration does not preclude you from protecting your product with other forms of intellectual property. Industrial designs can, for example, complement patent and trademark portfolios and/or provide a stepping stone to trade dress protection.

When compared to patents, industrial design registrations and design patents are relatively inexpensive, straightforward, and quick to obtain. Any business that designs products— including software and mobile applications—should consider seeking this form of intellectual property protection.

Our lawyers would be pleased to discuss how your company can protect the valuable aesthetic features of your products in Canada and around the world. Our lawyers can also advise on the registrability and validity of industrial design registrations and handle matters involving infringement of registered industrial designs and ownership disputes.

n the competition to reach commercialization, many of B.C.’s budding biotech companies are running in a tight race. Yet due to the size of the industry, there is still enough room in the province’s biotech ecosystem for each player to be recognized, even in its biggest city.

“I actually think it is an advantage to be in Vancouver as opposed to somewhere like the Bay Area because [in the latter] there is a lot of noise and a lack of loyalty to the company you are working at,” says Tamer Mohamed, CEO and co-founder of Aspect Biosystems.

“Everybody is looking to join the next big thing whereas in Vancouver, people have joined and they have stayed and they have grown with the company.”

(UBC) spinoff startup that made waves by announcing its ability to use live human cells to create and build living human tissue. Aspect is now one of the pioneering microfluidic 3D bioprinting companies in the world.

Among other achievements, the company’s 3D RX1 bioprinter is being used to create respiratory tissue for pharmaceutical trials – something that could cut reliance on the practice of animal testing. In addition, the company is crafting a portfolio of 3D bioprinted human tissues that will, one day, be available on demand for various clinical uses.

In 2017, the company partnered with Johnson & Johnson to produce meniscus tissue – the rubbery disc in the knee that can cause serious long-term disability and pain if injured – from biocompatible materials.

Last year, Aspect received $1 million in repayable funding from Genome BC’s Industry Innovation Program, which assists B.C. companies in the early stages of commercialization. LifeSciences BC has named Aspect the 2019 Growth Stage Company of the Year.

“We’ve been spending a lot of time innovating on the business model and we work very closely with academic researchers,” Mohamed says. “We give them access to our platform, and then we share in the success of those results.

“We are tapping into a large network of domain

expertise instead of trying to do everything alone.”

The company has continued to grow. Initially launching with 10 employees, it now has 40 and has moved to a new Vancouver office space on West 75th Avenue. The 8,000-square-foot space dedicated to Aspect is home to all integrated operations, a research and development lab and manufacturing.

Aspect has welcomed new employees from all over the world.

“We have been able to overcome the typical challenge that startups face in recruitment by having a bold vision and facing a global challenge that attracts very smart people to come to Vancouver.”

On the track to commercialization, Aspect is pursuing all available paths to find the right formula.

“We are both kind of putting our platform out there to the research base to fuel long-term application development but we are also focusing on real commercial tissue products internally at Aspect and working with our go-to-market partners,” Mohamed says.

Currently, Aspect is developing muscle tissue as well as liver tissue and pancreatic tissue for Type 1 diabetes.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY—PRINTING MUSCLE

3D printing holds the potential of reproducing human organs from biocompatible materials • SUBMITTED

The potential of bioprinting is enormous and farreaching, notes Vikramaditya Yadav, a UBC chemical and biological engineering professor who is also with the Regenerative Medicine Cluster Initiative in B.C. “Bioprinted tissues or organs could allow scientists to predict beforehand how a drug will interact within the body. For every life-saving therapeutic drug that makes its way into our medicine cabinets, Health Canada blocks the entry of nine drugs because they are proven unsafe or ineffective. Eliminating poor-quality drug candidates to reduce development costs – and therefore the cost to consumers – has never been more urgent,” Yadav says.

In Canada, he adds, nearly 4,500 people are waiting to be matched with organ donors.

“If and when bioprinters evolve to the point where they can manufacture implantable organs, the concept of an organ transplant waiting list would cease to exist.

And bioprinted tissues and organs from a patient’s own healthy cells could potentially reduce the risk of transplant rejection and related challenges,” the professor explains. É

BRIEF

TechWomen aids new immigrants When Anitha Amarnath left India for Canada in 2017, she thought she had a solid shot at scoring a job in a region strapped for technology experts.

Amarnath graduated with a master’s degree in information technology in her home country, where she had hoped to one day become a lecturer.

But aspirations of landing a position after arriving in B.C. quickly withered.

“It’s really, really tough to get a job,” Amarnath says, noting her lack of work experience in Canada likely hurt her on the job hunt.

But last fall Amarnath landed in a free pre-employment program geared towards immigrant women looking to get into the tech industry.

The TechWomen program is being led by the Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISS) and the Emily Carr University of Art + Design

00_BC Tech 2019_64p_2.indd 20

(ECU) with funding for five years being provided by the Canadian Women’s Foundation and the Startland initiative.

Startland launched more than three years ago, raising more than $500,000 as it trained Syrian refugees how to code.

Founder Kate Armstrong says the TechWomen initiative was a natural evolution for Startland following the work with refugees.

“We were able to bring together different kinds of partners than were typically in conversation before,” she says, adding this meant collaborations with startups, charities, the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology and even tech giants like Microsoft Corp.

“Those people hadn’t necessarily been in direct conversation before about how to partner.”

Armstrong, who is also the director of ECU’s Shumka Centre for Creative Entrepreneurship,

has been tapping the university’s resources and offering classes to TechWomen participants if and when additional seats open up in relevant courses.

In addition to technology training, participants receive help

with English-language skills, cultural education and job interview exercises.

“They got a big confidence boost from going through this,” says Sarah Rolling, ISS’s program facilitator for TechWomen.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: FEAR & TRANSFORMATION AI is expected to have the largest technological impact on society over the next generation – and many fear the disruption

S

hadowing the hope that artificial intelligence (AI) will dramatically increase efficiency and knowledge is a cloud of fear about the disruption that the technology may unleash.

“I think there’s a small understanding, but there’s a huge amount of fear,” said David McKay, CEO and president at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), May 29 during a panel discussion hosted by Borealis AI as part of the official launch of its newest research lab, located in downtown Vancouver. “And I think the word AI is associated at the government level with job loss and job disruption.”

Established by RBC in 2016, Borealis AI is a research institute conducting AI research within a network of labs in Vancouver, Toronto, Miontreal, Edmonton and Waterloo.

“It’s been a difficult year for artificial intelligence,

00_BC Tech 2019_64p_2.indd 22

from a [public relations] perspective,” says Foteini Agrafioti, head of Borealis AI and RBC’s chief science officer. “A lot of things happened with mismanagement, misuse of data. And unfortunately a lot of that is attributed back to artificial intelligence.”

Agrafioti, who who was also recently named co-chair of the Canadian government’s advisory council on artificial intelligence, adds, “Unfortunately, the good stories around artificial intelligence, the great advances that come from that, are getting lost in the noise.”

The applications of Borealis AI’s research go beyond financial services, with the institute supporting open

collaboration with academic researchers to help communities tackle diverse problems through tools such as reinforcement learning, natural language processing and deep learning.

Agrafioti highlighted how Borealis AI’s placement at the edge of RBC has given the institute “a little bit of space and freedom to think a little differently,” which extends to the publication of its research.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE—MEASURED IN TRILLIONS “We’re not just using science, we’re contributing to [it] and putting that out in the public domain,” she explains.

“I think what’s special these days, and in Vancouver particularly we’re really lucky to have two world-class computer science departments, at [the University of British Columbia] and [Simon Fraser University], in the same city – it’s a very rare thing,” says Greg Mori, who heads Borealis AI’s Vancouver lab and is also a professor of computing science at Simon Fraser University.

Borealis AI’s Vancouver facility is focusing mainly on computer vision, a subfield of machine learning that trains computers to see, process and understand the visual world.

While RBC is most interested in capitalizing on the applications of computer vision for modelling financial data, the technology can also be applied to environmental science, agricultural management, and humanitarian initiatives. É

AI IS A POTENTIAL $15.7 TRILLION DISRUPTER It is hard to underestimate the potential economic impact of artificial intelligence, according to PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC).

In its 2019 analysis Sizing the Prize, PwC forecast that by 2030 AI will add $15.7 trillion to the global economy, the equivalent of raising the world’s gross domestic product by 14 per cent.

The economics of AI will be driven by: ■ Productivity gains from businesses automating processes (including use of robots and autonomous vehicles).

■ Productivity gains from businesses augmenting their existing labour force with AI technologies (assisted and augmented intelligence).

■. Increased consumer demand resulting from the availability of personalised and/or higher-quality AI-enhanced products and services.

Gerard Verweij, global data and analytics leader, PwC, suggests resistance is futile: “No sector or business is in any way immune from the impact of AI. The impact on productivity alone could be competitively transformational and even disruptive. Businesses that fail to apply AI, could quickly find themselves being undercut on turnaround times as well as costs and experience, and may lose a significant amount of their market share as a result,” Verweij says.

hen Google sought to uncover the common characteristics shared by its best-performing teams, the tech giant found it wasn’t specific personality types or technical skills that dictated A-level results.

“What they found was that the major determinant of team success was essentially social and emotional intelligence,” says Karen Bakker, professor and director of the program on water governance at the University of British Columbia, referring to a 2012 study as detailed by the New York Times. “It was sharing airtime equally. It was the ability to be sensitive to the other people’s social and emotional cues – even unspoken.

“I look forward to a world of work in 2050 where the engineers that are being trained at that point are as good at the social and emotional success skills as they are at the technical skills.”

Bakker, who also serves as director of strategy for the educational collaboration platform Riipen, was addressing concerns over the future of the global workforce at an expert panel facilitated by the B.C. Tech Summit.

The summit itself, held March 11–13, drew about 7,000 delegates ranging from entrepreneurs to investors to multinational corporation executives.

Among the made-in-B.C. artificial intelligence (AI) technologies being showcased were robotic devices

from Advanced Intelligent Systems Inc. and Eleos Robotics that could take over manual labour traditionally performed by humans, such as agricultural work.

And while many speakers at the conference delved into the economic potential behind AI – that is, the ability to cut costs and improve productivity compared with human workers – the panel featuring Bakker and other experts dug into how advances in technology will fundamentally change the workforce in the next quarter-century.

“In an economy where more and more people are self-employed, we’re going to see a very different sort of relationship-building process where automation has taken away, let’s say, not menial but repetitive tasks out of the equation. It’s a very different, more conversational, relational approach to talent finding their match,” she said.

“I look at that really optimistically in the sense of a greater potential at least for authentic engagement for people to really find the work that they love doing.”

A 2017 report from Intuit Canada estimated 45 per cent of the workforce would be composed of

independent contractors, freelancers and on-demand workers by 2020.

Peter Nunoda, president and CEO of Vancouver Community College says he’s advising students to prepare for transformation.

“We know what the impact of machine learning, of artificial intelligence, is going to be on making some occupations obsolete, but when we talk about this in a post-secondary aspect what we’re looking at is how we can enhance those transferable skills,” he explains.

FOUR B.C. AI COMPANIES TO WATCH

Advanced Intelligent Systems Inc.: Should we fear the robots? This Burnaby-based company is developing robotic devices that can replace many of the repetitive tasks performed by human labourers. On display at the B.C. Tech Summit was the company’s Big Top model,

which functions as a robotic gardener at greenhouses.

Ecoation: Is it possible to use your iPhone to know what a plant is feeling? This North Vancouver-based company predicts crop stress using plant signals and sends that information to growers via smartphones.

Eleos Robotics: Why use herbicides when this Coquitlam company has created the RoboWeeder? The autonomous robot controls weeds in agricultural land by directing precision microwaves at unwanted plants. “This,” says CEO Yahoel Van Essen, “is going to change the value chain for growers and allow the scaling down of farms.”

Epic Semiconductors Inc.: As artificial intelligence becomes more intertwined in our daily lives, this Vancouver firm is banking on its ubiquity by creating a “dust-sized” AI chip that can sense human action, physical forces, chemical reactions and vital signs. É

A HEALTHIER FUTURE Using genomics to improve and protect B.C.’s health – we can’t afford not to

DR. ELLIE GRIFFITH

Genome British Columbia believes that every patient and individual in the province should benefit from genomic technologies. Over the past 19 years, Genome BC has invested in almost 400 genomics research projects as well as science and technology platforms. Scientific discovery, job creation and economic advantage have been important outputs, but our greatest impact is helping B.C. move toward a healthier future – in human health, forestry, agri-food, fisheries and aquaculture, energy, mining and the environment.

Remarkable advancements have been made across multiple sectors, but human health is where we’ve seen the biggest evolution. In the past 20 years, the cost of sequencing a human genome has dropped from $300 million to $1,000 per genome, and a genome can be sequenced in a matter of days. This boom in affordability and accessibility is accelerating the pace of innovation.

As the science evolves, so does patient readiness to use genomics in health care. The “one-size-fits-all” traditional approach to health care is nearing an end, ushering in the era of precision where we can use genomics through the entire health-care continuum. There are four main areas where genomics could have an immediate impact in health care: prevention, diagnosis, treatment and population genomics.

Prevention: a more complete patient profile: By integrating genomics into the health-care system, we are seeing earlier and more personalized risk assessments of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and asthma. Programs like the Genome BC supported Centre for Clinical Genomics (CCG) are already realizing the potential of capturing a more complete picture of a patient, including hereditary and novel genomic risk factors. The CCG’s 17-gene Hereditary Cancer Panel1, coupled with genetic counselling services, is helping patients with a family history of cancer receive personalized screening recommendations for monitoring and preventive care, a service the B.C. government is now reimbursing.’

Personalized diagnosis: Genomic sequencing helps us better understand the patient, but it also provides unique details in diseases like cancer. Single or multi “omics” profiling technologies, usually from a blood sample, are beginning to replace invasive tests like biopsies. In cancer, this provides critical information about the unique molecular profile of a tumour that goes beyond identifying the tissue affected (e.g., prostate,

breast) and into a precise molecular diagnosis of each specific tumour.

Treatment with precision: Genomics can help us prescribe the right drug at the right dose to the right patient at the right time, leading to an increase of drug efficacy and decrease of adverse drug reaction (ADR). Genome BC funded pharmacogenomics projects have led to the development of drug metabolism profiles that can predict the effectiveness of medications, inform dosage and reduce ADRs for everything from blood thinners2 to cancer medications3.

Several providers offer pharmacogenomics-related applications to B.C. residents. For example, pharmacists can now test a patient’s saliva for genes that will predict ADRs to commonly prescribed drugs while family doctors can select treatment options to identify personalized medication options for multiple common conditions.

Population genomics: The more people who undertake personal genome sequencing and allow their information to be (anonymously) pooled into a larger data set, the more clarity we will have about certain conditions.

Similarly, population genomics can play a significant role in managing infectious disease. Recent pandemics and infectious diseases put pioneering Genome BC researchers on the international stage where sequencing SARS and H1N1 lead to the development of vaccines, right here in Vancouver. Genome BC identifies funding for emerging issues, knowing that mobilizing quickly is key to mitigating outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics.

Next steps: It is time to adopt genomics as a standard of care. In co-operation with B.C.’s Ministry of Health, Genome BC has developed an initiative to understand the factors that influence more widespread implementation of clinical pharmacogenomics, with a focus on improving outcomes and addressing cost-effectiveness in the health-care system.

The barriers preventing the integration of genomic advances into the health system fall into one of four thematic areas: education, big data, capacity and access.

We believe it’s worth our collective efforts to overcome these limitations. We cannot afford to stand still – the potential for improving health-care delivery is enormous but, more importantly, beneficial to all British Columbians. É Dr. Ellie Griffith, sector director, health, Genome BC, leads Genome BC’s team of sector managers in health to leverage the application of “omics” in ways that improve the health and wellness of British Columbians.

K

abam, one of the largest video game developers in B.C., has taken seven floors in a new 33-storey office tower in downtown Vancouver after relocating back from California. Vancouver’s Hothead Games, which started in 2006, now has 140 workers and hot mobile games such as Kill Shot and Hero Hunters and has launched a new publishing division.

East Side Games, an indie studio known for its Trailer Park Boys game, made the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list this year after posting an average annual three-year revenue growth of 663 per cent.

Giant Microsoft has its game subsidiary Coalition in a Vancouver studio.

Electronic Arts, meanwhile, is the B.C. behemoth with more than 1,500 employees at its Burnaby facilities.

Headquartered in California,it is the second-largest gaming company in North America and Europe, with annual revenues estimated at more than $5 billion.

Yet there is still room for startup game studios that play to the strength of creating a community, and Vancouver’s continual search for work-life balance, according to the co-founder of one the hottest new contenders in the gaming arena.

CEO Solon Bucholtz started LBC Studios Inc. four years ago with partner Dennis Molloy. The indie mobile game maker now has 30 full-time staff at its Beatty Street offices on the fringe of Gastown. More important, LBC’s signature and first game, Hempire, is ranked among the top 100 highest-grossing mobile games in the world with 10 million installs across 63 countries.

“Forty per cent of our players are in the U.S. but one of every 1,000 Canadians [who play mobile games] have played Hempire,” Bucholtz says.

“On any given day, we get 10,000 to 20,000 new players.”

While Hempire is a free dowload, LBC has earned $20 million over the past two years due to in-app purchases and monetization.

Like the LBC offices, where workers are encouraged to

2019-06-10 2:35 PM

| 31

blend work and leisure, Hempire is quintessentially West Coast: the game revolves around cannabis production, sales and distribution. It has developed a sustained, even fanatical following: an entire wall at LBC’s studio features cards, photos, messages and drawings of Hempire characters sent in by players.

“It’s rather overwhelming,” Bucholtz says.

LBC has also focused on building a sustainable workforce. The company has had near-zero staff turnover, Bucholtz says, largely because of the culture it has created.

“This is a place for work as well as for fun,” he says.

Staffers are encouraged to work one day a week from home, or at least out of the office. The company’s studio features a kitchen, a games room, big-screen TV, a climbing wall and monthly staff parties – and nobody is punching a clock.

Bucholtz believes placing an emphasis on staff happiness helps smaller game companies compete for talent as bigger companies move in or expand in Vancouver.

“Some people simply don’t want to work in the corporate culture crush,” he says.

That crush was underlined this year when Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma extolled the virtue of “996”: working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., six days a week.

“Not here,” Bucholtz says. “At LBC we don’t just talk about a great work environment; we live it.”

LBC is launching its second game, also cannabis-themed but as yet unnamed, near the end of this year.

The company is also looking at expanding its studio space, but has run into the problem of high office rents and low supply that challenges all Vancouver office tenants.

“We are looking at Burnaby,” Bucholtz says. “It turns out half of our staff already lives there.”

Bucholtz said he is not overly concerned with the large gaming companies setting up in Vancouver. He believes it helps make the city a destination for talented tech workers, and that many of them would rather work in a studio that places a greater emphasis on life balance and creativity than on, say, a six-day workweek.

While EV sales are soaring in B.C., the number of hydrogen fuel cell cars on the road in Vancouver is estimated to be in the single digits.

According to the New Car Dealers Association of BC, more than 6,300 buyers applied for B.C.’s electric vehicle rebate in 2018, an

increase of 4,000 from the previous year.

Neither the federal nor B.C. incentives apply to electric bikes, though B.C.’s Scrap-It program provides an $850 rebate for someone scrapping an older vehicle and buying an electric bike through a participating dealer.

EV rebate can total $10,000 Combining B.C. and federal incentives could mean a buyer of an electric vehicle (EV) could pocket $10,000 in government rebates this year.

The March federal budget included $300 million for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle subsidies over three years.

On new electric cars with a retail price of $45,000 or less, buyers would be eligible for up to $5,000 in rebates.

In B.C., the rebate is up to $5,000 for a battery electric and up to $6,000 for a fuel cell car.

(The price point for eligibility is higher in B.C. – $77,000 – so the rebate in B.C. applies to hydrogen fuel cell cars.)

The federal Ministry of Finance

00_BC Tech 2019_64p_2.indd 38

confirms that federal and provincial incentives could be accessed on a single EV purchase.

“The federal purchase incentive for electric battery or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with an MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) of less than $45,000 can be used in conjunction with other incentive programs offered by provinces and territories,” a ministry spokesperson states. “Details on program design will be available in the coming months.”

If the full federal subsidy applies, that could bring the rebate for a battery electric car in B.C. up to $10,000. Hydrogen fuel cell cars likely won’t qualify for the federal rebate until their price comes down, however.
