The York Technology Association was established in 1983 as an economic development community supporting the growth of technology companies in the greater Toronto Region. The Association has evolved into a cluster of economic activity, drawing together technology and key service companies supporting sustained economic development. The YTA draws its members from the Region considered to be at the centre-point of Canada's most economically active technology corridor according to the independent Branhan 300 list of technology companies. The YTA provides a connection to more than 5,000 leaders and influencers of the technology cluster in the Greater Toronto Region in Ontario, Canada.
The goal for the YTA is a simple one: to foster a healthy eco-system of inter-related executives, companies, technologies and services to build sustainable business success.
A not-for-profit group, the YTA is a member-driven community offering peer collaboration, innovation, education and economic development opportunity key to technology businesses and their people.
Membership is company based - with all members in an organization having access to the programs, services and events to help build community and support innovation and economic development.
