SURREY TECHNOLOGY AND SKILLS CENTRE TO FACILITATE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN THE REGION   

Surrey residents now have the convenience of being able to exchange a wide selection of foreign currencies and purchase precious metals quickly and easily, conveniently located at 13650 72 Avenue (at 72 Ave and 136b Street).

The Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) together with Western Community College (WCC) announced the official opening of the Surrey Technology and Skills Centre, last month.

Located in the heart of the Surrey Health & Technology District, the Centre is set to become a hub for technological advancement and skills development. This state-of-the-art facility is a testament to the power of partnership and innovation brought to life to be a thriving ecosystem where technology, education and business converge.

The Surrey Technology and Skills Centre will incubate the Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence, the Blockchain Centre of Excellence, the Indigenous Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre, Entrepreneurship Hubs for women, youth, and newcomers, plus the expansion of the Surrey International Trade Centre and the Surrey Workforce Development Hub.

The Surrey Board of Trade’s partnership with Western Community College is building a bridge between education and business, collaborating on several federal and provincial labor market training programs to build a vibrant and digitally skilled labor workforce, and addressing the labor challenges of Surrey’s business community.

The Surrey Technology and Skills Centre is more than a space—it’s technology balanced with the human touch as Surrey becomes the largest city in British Columbia. Co-working spaces, pod spaces, and collaboration areas all work towards moving Surrey to being a leader in shaping the next generation of tech leaders to help build a safer, smarter world.
