Change is good, and necessary in life and in business. When we accept change we allow ourselves to pivot, shift, adapt and move forward. Innovation by definition is all about making positive change that will benefit our world.
HalTech is also embracing change as we plan for future growth. As Halton's regional innovation centre, we are enhancing our programs and services for Halton's tech entrepreneurs, and continue our role as a catalyst for technology innovation, entrepreneurship skill development, and business growth.
