Connecting Kootenay businesses with technology, expertise, and opportunity.
TechEdge is a developing a new KAST initiative. It aims to advance digital adoption by Kootenay businesses connecting them with local expertise keeping contracts and value within the regional circular economy.

- Technology service providers, consultants, and experts interested in supporting businesses across the Kootenays. Community and
- Partners who want to help strengthen the region’s technology capacity and competitiveness.
