This episode is a compilation of clips from speakers at the UP Conference talking about why secondary markets are becoming some of the hottest tech hubs in North America.

At Startupville, we reject the notion that the next big thing can only come from Silicon Valley. Secondary markets like the Canadian prairies, the Colorado Rockies, and many more have exploded into vibrant tech hubs in recent years.

At UP Conference, there was no ignoring the energy of the Canadian prairie tech region.
