Understanding the Rise of the Asian Tech industry: Innovation and Best Practices

The project will investigate through first-hand experience how Asian technology firms ideate, develop, debug, test, and ship their software products. The methodologies in Asia can be very different from Canada’s software industry, in which some segments still use outdated development practices. The projects main deliverable to the partner organization (The Cansbridge Fellowship) will be a detailed report on Asia’s, specifically Japan’s, software development methodologies. Cansbridge will also benefit from having an expanded Asian business network to share with Canada. The second part of the report will highlight the key differences between Canadian and Asian software practices. The intern will bring these new perspectives back to the Canadian technology industry, bringing in new ideas to combine with our own to make Canada a stronger player in the technology industry,
