In this episode of Island Thrive, we chat with Dan Gunn, executive director of VIATEC. He shares his thesis of the city of Victoria, referring to it as a magnetic city — a place that has a remarkable quality of life and offers exceptional opportunities. This pull helps fuel the growth of the four billion dollar per year tech industry. Dan also talks about the organic development of the tech district, the industry landscape and how the pandemic has impacted the mission and culture of their own organization.
