Great voices met around the table at the Auburn Saloon on Tuesday for an intimate, creative, and super constructive evening. Representatives from the Vulcan Business Development Society (VBDS), the Alberta Rural Development Network, and Cybera met with some very talented thinkers from the Digital Alberta membership to carve out a new wave of opportunities for Digital Producers and a vibrant rural constituency. Vulcan presented a number of challenges for our membership to brainstorm and consider. On offer here was the opportunity to bid $100,000 worth of contracts, and partner with Vulcan on future funding applications and initiatives. Our members were quick to see the potential of developing a cutting edge solution for this surprisingly large niche market that extends not only around the province, but across the country and the world: rural communities are increasingly competing against urban environments both for quality of living and business opportunities.
The participants of the Vulcan Digital Possibilities Symposium will have two weeks to develop their concepts before the competition will be opened up publicly. Watch the Digital Alberta website at the beginning of December for information and videos about what Vulcan, and other rural communities, are looking for. Then submit your pitch for up to $100,000 worth of contracts that may lay the foundation for your next big product line.
This opportunity is exclusively for Digital Alberta members; a current membership in good standing is require to hold a contract with VBDS. This is yet another way DA supports its members and drives innovation across our industry and the province.
