Join me for another edition of Collisions YYC Current & Critical, a high-intensity series where I sit down with local leaders to discuss current topics affecting Albertans.

In this episode, I discuss the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF) with Rohit Joshi, CEO of Brightsquid. A direct response to our current economic environment, The OCIF is a $100-million fund offering opportunities for transformative investments that will be the catalysts for Calgary's economic growth. Brightsquid recently received $1M in OCIF support for their HATCH incubator program. In our conversation, Rohit and I discuss the application process, the benefits and opportunities from this fund and the importance to keep transformative investments going, even when the OCIF money runs out.
