Is Toronto The Next Silicon Valley?

Wesh mon bout

I hope not. Too expensive as is. Go build up a smaller towns. That is just me.

As a San Jose resident, living in the heart of a Silicon Valley, i sure hope it is. The ridiculous housing prices and congestion has gone too far.

Silicon Valley is no good ! Wake up

i vote for Russia (Sankt-Peterburg)! Great place to be

they're reigning NBA champ, and who wa it before ? the warriors of golden state, and where do they come ? the silicon valey, hum hum coincidence ? i dont think so...

Toronto is an amazing city! Tecnological and global city.

I hope it brings lots of opportunities for the people of Toronto

Wow magnifik😍

Just type on Google: "is the next silicon valley". Have fun.

Thanks everyone for checking out this piece. Toronto is doing some amazing things in the social innovation space!!!

And good luck to everyone applying for the global workshop ✌️

I went to Toronto recently and something about it just rubbed me the wrong way. I don't know... I got this weird vibe that the people there were trying really hard to act as if they have some sort of NYC pretentiousness, but really trying to play into it. Granted, I was only there for 3 days and i spent most of it around the Yonge Square area, but yeah, there was definitely a weird vibe there.

If you have to call something the 'next Silicon' anything just stop there and look in a different direction.

Toronto is not an affordable city.2000$ a month for a single bedroom apartment is anything but affordable.

Toronto affordable? lol Thats a straight lie.

lol, Seattle already did that years ago with Portland and Vancouver right after. They weren't trying either, Californians just won't stop moving up here.

Good for Canada 👍👍

When it comes to music, Toronto will become the next Seattle

It's been greating seeing my city grow the way it has.

I just hope the tech industry can make use of what the rest of the province of Ontario and the rest of the country has to offer. The amount of focus on Toronto and the population growth has meant Toronto is becoming a bigger piece of the Canadian pie, and that may have reprecussions.


In Ontario, Toronto suburbs like Vaughan, Markham, even Oshawa, etc, have room to grow (upwards), more affordable housing and still lots of talent (need more transit, I know.) Further out, KWC, London, Hamilton, Windsor, Kingston, Guelph, etc...all have universities, institutes, young talent, and could absorb much of Toronto's new population and business. Would love to see each of them grow to mid-size cities or more in coming years.....further pushing regional transit programs.

Outside of southern Ontario. Well there is still 9 million sq km left (of course, not all inhabitable). I just hope we can start seeing this growth to less vibrant parts of the country. Northern Ontario, the Maritimes, parts of the Priaries, parts of Quebec, they could all use a jolt of energy and growth. And I really hope tech booms in Calgary and Edmonton so they won't be as vulnerable to oil price fluctuations.

Its because of UWaterloo

How is Toronto Hollywood North? Isn’t that Vancouver?

Did he seriously just say Toronto housing is affordable? lol i wish

Wo Wo WO! Hollywood north is Vancouver. From Holly wood California you just drive north to Vancouver British Columbia Canada. The busiest movie & TV production center in all of Canada. It started with the X Files and Star Gate etc and has just continued to get bigger with Net Flixx etc. Housing is the #1 problem in Toronto, The most expensive city in Canada to live. Still cheep compared to NY or Paris. The cost of University education, even as a foreign student is what makes it affordable for advantaged smart foreign students.

Social and capitalism are dire opposites. Toronto n Canadians need to understand that if they want to come close to silicon valley.

I highly doubt it will be the next silicon valley. No one wants to live where rents are sky high and winter is six months long.

I just wonder why red bull official channel is making a video about tech hub transformation...weird

Please no.

Toronto = Affordable if you in Tech, Law, or Business.
Not affordable if you are anything else.

well silicon valley is becoming more dirty.. tech professionals are living in their cars...

I thought Hollywood North was Vancouver, BC.

Vancouver is more likely to become Silicon Valley

Voice Over: "....Toronto is affordable..."
University Director: "...working to empower people facing homelessness..."

OK if we’re being regionally specific Vancouver should be the next Silicon Valley not Toronto I know there’s tech stuff in both houses but you know what I mean

Toronto is affordable? Give me a break. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are WAY too expensive and they rank as some of the most expensive cities in the damn world. This is why people should focus more on the other 3 cities that are in the top 6, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton.

No. Toronto is an expensive dump

Toronto is my home. Great community, smart minds, and people who care about equality and doing social good.

Bebgaluru Is worlds fastest growing tech hub

Let me answer your question, as someone from the city: LOL NOT A CHANCE. Consider the following:
1) Insanely expensive real estate
2) Low pay--the vast majority of the best Canadian software engineering talent leaves Canada. Why pay higher taxes, get paid less, deal with horrible winters, and fewer job opportunities?
3) Scale--Toronto's limited size means you don't have the networks of talent and capital you would find in NYC or SF

Why is redbull the "DRINK COMPANY" making a video about Toronto

Nope too expensive

Toronto is the best city

Redbull cooperates with idiots.

Center of Kiev. Pedestrian zone.

Territory of the cathedral on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

@

not quite a proper representation of the caption for the video, shud have wrote simply, ryerson university, disappointed, nothing to extract from this video

wait, red bull?

Relatively affordable. Joke 😁

WHAT ABOUT VANCOUVER???

Lmao at the title

Appabfelty not but the rent sure is

I think is possible that Toronto have been converting in the new SV in CA. But in Vancouver is the capital in Supply Chain Management in CA.

Why is this a redbull video?
