MEDIUM | Maverix Private Equity - A Vision For Canada
I am a proud Canadian. Canada is an amazing place to live, work, play and raise your children. I am also a deep believer in innovation and entrepreneurship to unlock the future wealth and prosperity of tomorrow. I believe that Canada has the talent and culture to build globally competitive companies and through the Council of Canadian Innovators (www.canadianinnovators.org), we have supported our various governments in how we could do better. What is needed is a platform for these globally competitive companies to flourish and win!
