Introduction

The Chamber of Digital Commerce Canada, located in Ottawa, is the national trade association representing the Canadian blockchain ecosystem. Our core objective is to advance support for Canada’s innovative and high-growth blockchain ecosystem.

As part of our mandate, the Chamber has commissioned the Blockchain Research Institute and Accenture to develop Canada’s first blockchain ecosystem report to shine a light on the ecosystem and innovation opportunities ahead.

We invite everyone innovating and supporting Canada’s blockchain ecosystem to participate in this confidential survey. All results will be aggregated and shared with the community later this Fall.

The survey has several sections:

1. General contact information
2. Team & Talent questions
3. Industry-specific questions
4. Conclusions

You will be taken to your corresponding industry questions based on how you answer question 23.

Should you have any questions please email canada@digitalchamber.org

This survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. 

We thank you in advance for your time and participation. All responses are for research purposes and will remain confidential.
