Canada's Digital Technology Supercluster

UBC is a founding member of DIGITAL, formerly known as Canada's Digital Technology Supercluster (CDTS). DIGITAL is a BC-led consortium of private industry, high-tech startups and post-secondary institutions. 

CDTS aims to position Canada as a global leader in today’s digital economy, using big data to address the biggest productivity, health and sustainability challenges facing Canadians and the world today — and ultimately advancing economic opportunities nationwide.  CDTS is funded as part of the Canadian Government’s Innovation Supercluster Initiative, receiving $153M from the federal government over 5 years, which is matched by over $200M pledged by the members of the CDTS.
