If you are an electronic engineer or designer looking for the latest components, test, CEM services or production materials on the market, you will want to pencil in a visit to the EPTECH Show taking place in the Greater Vancouver Area next month.

The table-top trade show event will be held in Coquitlam BC on June 12th at the Hard Rock Casino Show Theatre Vancouver.

Keynote address focuses on burgeoning BC tech market

The day’s event will kick-off with a keynote address delivered by Raghwa Gopal, president & CEO, Innovate BC, an innovation hub designed to serve as a one stop service centre to connect innovators — large and small — with BC government funding, tools, resources and support. His presentation will focus on the history of BC tech, while delving into what industries have helped us get to this point, and identifying what industries we think will lead us into the future. The keynote session will commence in the Upper Foyer at 9am, delivered up with a free continental breakfast.

Gopal is an entrepreneur who has extensive experience starting, growing and selling numerous businesses. He joined Innovate BC from Accelerate Okanagan (AO), where he was CEO. At AO, Gopal was instrumental in the creation and management of successful programs for technology companies at all stages of growth, and he has been a driving force in the development of the Okanagan’s tech sector into a $1.6 billion economic contributor. A graduate of New Zealand’s Central Institute of Technology in information technology, he has also received degrees in computer science from Australia’s Collier MacMillan School and the University of the South Pacific.
