The TSPI is not merely a diagnostic tool; it serves as a strategic guide offering actionable insights. It allows for city-to-city comparisons, presenting results in visually compelling formats such as radar charts and detailed tables. These insights can be instrumental in shaping policies, initiatives, and strategies aimed at fostering digital transformation and sustainable growth. Moreover, the TSPI takes into account environmental and social dimensions, aligning the tech sector's growth with broader sustainable development objectives.
Future Guidance
The TSPI is an intricate analytical framework developed to assess the performance of the technology sector in various Canadian cities. It employs a dual-model approach—linear and extended—to capture the sector's multifaceted dynamics. The linear model aggregates individual factors in a directly proportional manner, while the extended model incorporates nonlinearities and interactions among these factors. This ensures a nuanced understanding of the sector's performance. The model currently utilizes dummy data.
