Data (facts and statistics collected for analysis) is increasingly important to business growth. In fact, 90 per cent of all data ever collected was generated in the last two years. Connecting and understanding data related to people, platforms, the Internet and supply chains (and most importantly, turning it all into profitable insights) is crucial when achieving competitive advantage. The sheer amount of information and variables to consider can be overwhelming. That’s where nimble, data-focused startups come in. These companies help clients make the right business decisions, share data efficiently and increase effectiveness.

Big Data Analytics has become a key requirement for edging competition, optimizing productivity, driving innovation, customer acquisition and sales. The ever-expanding volume and detail of data captured by enterprises & startups, the rise of social media, Machine Learning and Internet of Things (IoT) will further fuel the exponential growth in big data analytics for the foreseeable future.

Big Data in Canada, Key points:

  • Canada is well positioned to dominate the world landscape in applying big data and machine learning to its biggest primary industries.
  • Canada has significant advantages: the largest, best-instrumented and most modern primary industries; world-leading subject matter experts; and top university graduates.
  • The historical data collected in Canada’s industries is not suitable for the new big data methods, but the expensive part of the infrastructure is already in place and can be used for the collection of the new type of data that is required — this can be done rapidly and cheaply.
  • Once this data is collected, Canada will have all of the ingredients for a renaissance in its biggest industries and the potential for large exports of the expertise that will be developed; however, if we do not seize the opportunity, Canada risks being left behind.
