<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;">Working closely with our client we've designed and built a new website aimed at UK Digital Technology sector companies and start-ups who are interested in foreign direct investment (FDI) or emigrating to Kelowna, Canada. </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 16pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Kelowna is a hotbed of start-up activity and has developed an extensive portfolio of business support for growing technology business who set up offices in the city.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">With access to wilderness and countryside similar to that of living in a UK national park, twinned with easy access to air travel across North America and international destinations directly from Kelowna airport, the city is proving to be a compelling offer to those who value quality of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">The new site can be found here: <a href="http://technologycanada.biz/">http://technologycanada.biz/</a> </span></span><br />
