“What I’m seeing is how multinational corporations are considering their international presence. It’s talent, talent, talent, and then the site, community and financials.” –Daniel Silverman

We can’t have any conversations about projects and deal flow without running into the topic of workforce. It’s a topic that transcends borders and industries, and is top of mind all over the world. What is driving company decisions and how can your community be more active in planning for the future labor pool? What if talent is needed now?

Daniel Silverman, Vice President of Foreign Direct Investment at Invest Quebec, returns to the podcast and talks with Faye Davis. Daniel dives into the ways that Quebec is solving workforce woes, and how immigration processes play a huge role. He gets candid about how business in general and FDI in particular was affected during Canada’s lockdowns (hint: it’s not what you expect!), and why Quebec is really making a name for itself in the ICT sector.

Daniel is recognized as one of North America’s Top 50 Economic Developers for his ability to constantly innovate and for being a voice for the industry. Listen in now to hear more about how he feeds his creativity, innovation, and passion for the work we do!
