Welcome to the Midweek Memo: a weekly digest of the city’s top tech events, job openings, and industry opportunities.

Before we get into this, check out the results from our weekly poll!

On Sunday, we quizzed you on how much Calgary's OraQ AI had raised in seed funding. Twenty-nine percent of you got it right: OraQ raised $2.6 million.

Now, on to the events you can’t miss this coming week…

  • As 2024 comes to a close, join a festive and forward-looking celebration, combining the warmth of the holiday season with an exploration of how digital transformation can drive industrial productivity.

  • This Wine Wednesday Christmas Cocktail will feature Whitney Rockley of McRock Capital — one of Canada's top technology venture funds focused on the Digital Industrial — and Remi Schmaltz, who co-founded Decisive Farming, founded agtech venture firm Koan Capital, and has launched his latest venture, Brilliant Harvest.
