The Scale Without Borders Immigrants in Tech Summit 2023, hosted at the prestigious Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, proved to be an extraordinary event.
Gathering 1,000 tech-savvy immigrants, 30 accomplished speakers, 20 esteemed partners, and featuring a diverse array of 17 events over two days, the summit provided a dynamic platform for discussions, networking, innovation, and inspiration.
The highlight of the summit was the ‘Scale Without Borders Fireside Chat’, which featured the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Techstars-backed Vesti, Olusola Amusan, engaging in an enthralling conversation with Managing Director, Techstars Toronto, Sunil Sharma.
The theme, ‘Investing in Global Diaspora’, delved into crucial aspects of the immigrant tech experience.
Techstars, the world’s largest startup investor, at the event, brought their extensive knowledge and global perspective to the forefront, affirming their dedication to supporting immigrant entrepreneurs, amplifying their voices, and creating opportunities for growth and success.
Vesti, an AI Copilot utilised by over 200,000 immigrants, primarily designed for skilled immigrants, embodies the essence of community, information sharing, and facilitating smooth transitions for newcomers. It is an indispensable resource for immigrants seeking financial and migration services and support in a new environment, aiding them in bridging the gap towards a more secure and prosperous future.
Speaking at the summit, Amusan expressed his honour at sharing the stage with Sunil, discussing Vesti’s remarkable journey, its impact on the Canadian market, and the global expansion that lies ahead.
He articulated a compelling vision for Vesti’s role in harnessing the potential of the African diaspora, stating, “Our new assignment and direction for Vesti is to ‘Secure Africa,’ thereby strengthening the African Diaspora and enabling it to fulfill its true potential.”
He said through cutting-edge AI technology, Vesti has fostered a deep sense of belonging, providing essential support, and serving as a bridge for those who may face additional challenges on their relocation journey.
The Immigrant Tech Summit 2023 transcended a mere gathering; it stood as a beacon of hope and unity for immigrant tech enthusiasts. With Vesti and Techstars at the forefront, the future of immigrants in tech is undeniably promising. This event serves as a poignant reminder that in a world where diversity and inclusion are paramount, opportunities and support should be extended to all, regardless of their origins.
