Lately, there has been a growing interest from OECD countries in attracting foreign entrepreneurs, to promote innovation, job creation and increase competitiveness in the globalised knowledge economy. Starting in 2010, 22 OECD countries have introduced specific visa programmes and schemes to attract and retain top entrepreneurial talent.

The OECD Indicators of Talent Attractiveness (ITA) is a tool to capture the strengths and weaknesses of OECD countries regarding their capacity to attract and retain different types of international talent. The 2023 edition, launched on March 9 in Berlin, includes for the first time, a focus on Migrant Start-Up Founders.

In this new category, Canada has been rated as the most attractive country in the OECD, with high scores in all dimensions and a start-up visa that offers several advantages for prospective start-up founders. However, the immigration policy framework for them is not particularly favorable, as their spouses do not enjoy full access to the labor market and there is no direct path from the startup visa to permanent residence.

Join the Innovation Cluster Peterborough and the Kawarthas (ICPK) and the Peruvian-Canadian Chamber of Commerce (PCCC) for an informative webinar on the STARTup Visa Program. Learn how this unique initiative can help Peruvian entrepreneurs establish and grow their businesses in Canada, creating jobs and fostering economic prosperity.

On May 25th, from 12-1 pm, Camila Durate - Senior Innovation Specialist & Programs Director at ICPK, will provide insights into the program, explain the application process and requirements, and discuss the benefits of participating.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about the STARTup Visa Program and how it can benefit Peruvian entrepreneurs looking to enter the Canadian market.

AI language models (LM) are at the heart of widely used language applications like ChatGPT, which has become a household name thanks to its apparent benefits. As individuals and organisations are integrating language models into their functioning and services, questions are being raised about how to ensure these transformative models are beneficial, inclusive, and safe.

Policymakers, are beginning to explore related societal impacts and taking action to contain potential risks. In early April, the OECD released AI language models: Technological, socio-economic and policy considerations, an overview of the AI language model landscape with policy considerations based on the OECD's 5 AI Principles.

Some of the main findings of the report focus on the risks and ethical questions posed by LMs, such as producing discriminatory or rights-infringing results and leaking confidential information.
