TC: Victoria’s tech sector sees opportunity in the great reset of 2022

StarFish Medical is featured in the TIMES COLONIST (Victoria) Jan 19, 2022 Business section in an article titled Victoria’s tech sector sees opportunity in the great reset of 2022 by Andrew Duffy.

“Restarts and reinvention are nothing new to the Victoria high-tech sector, and it appears the industry sees a restart in 2022 as another opportunity for it to evolve further and build on what was, by many accounts, a record year for tech in the city. A VIATEC survey taken early in the pandemic showed a small segment of the tech sector was struggling while most said they could survive the restrictions and at least half of the firms indicated they intended to add staff. That cautious approach seemed to give way to unbridled optimism in 2021 in some circles.”

“Scott Phillips, chief executive of StarFish Medical, the country’s largest medical-device design company said he expected his company to realize a 40 per cent increase in revenue in 2021 and it was casting around widely to find more staff to handle the coming workload”, Duffy reports.

He also cites Dan Gunn, chief executive of VIATEC, “There’s no indication that 2022 will not carry on that momentum.”
