OCRIRadio.com March Podcast Features 10 Tech Exec Interviews – from Nortel’s CTO to a Grade 5 Student Planning His First Robotics Company

Ottawa, 20 March 2007 – When Chris McIntyre talks about the plans for his robotics company, he sounds just as determined as Nortel Networks Corp.’s CTO John Roese, or any of the other CEOs and senior managers interviewed at Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation’s (OCRI’s) Technology Showcase at Scotia Bank Place for the March podcast of OCRIRadio.com. The thing about Chris is he’s 10 years old.

A participant in one of this year’s OCRI-sponsored Grade 5 robotics classes at the Ottawa Carleton Catholic School Board, Chris’s determination is typical of entrepreneurial dynamism in Ottawa’s tech community in hot sectors such as mobile data systems, Web site animation, issues management software, Internet telephony, and on-demand manufacturing.
