News Summary

Canadian tech startup Inuvika, co-founded by Kevin Gallagher in 2014, is making strides globally with its Linux-based platform, OVD Enterprise, which provides secure access to virtual desktops and applications. The company has expanded its reach to 60 countries, including partnerships with banks, telcos, universities, and global research organizations. While its international presence is growing, Inuvika is seeking more support from the Canadian market, which has been slower to adopt its technology. Gallagher emphasizes the need for policies that encourage the use of local and open-source products in Ontario to boost local employment and innovation. Despite challenges, the momentum of the buy-Canadian movement and support from organizations like Communitech are helping Inuvika capitalize on global opportunities.
