The Canadian Cloud Council's 2nd national conference justy kicked off with Sir Terry Matthews sharing his experiences creating businesses (91 including the hotel in which we are meeting today) and innovation. The quality and calibre of speakers at this event promises to make it very interesting.
In Matthews opener, he suggested that cloud computing can impact every level of the value chain: from electricity generation (everything uses power) all the way through to the hardware [and end user]. He went on to say that "The opportunities...for new companies out there are good," and, "New companies create new jobs." Despite the ongoing economic concerns, this stands as a compelling endorsement for job creation, innovation, and investment in Canada.
Strong start to Cloud Launch. The conversation these next two days is going to be extraordinary.
