Vancouver Economy Report

Summer 2023

Vancouver Economy Report

For months, Canada has nervously anticipated a recession forecasted by economists

The Spring 2023 issue of the Vancouver Economy Report features technology, one of the city’s most crucial and fast-growing industries forging ahead despite experiencing economic headwinds. We also take stock of the bench strengths that will see us through any downturns:

  • Which Canadians are filing the most patents?
  • Who are the champions of the city’s acclaimed tech sector?
  • Are British Columbians living longer?
  • …and more.
