CityViz Economic Development Data Platform
CityViz economic development data platform is developed and maintained by Ruby Industries Inc. whose head office is in Calgary, AB. The company specializes in delivering data products and services used by both public and private sector. It was founded in 2013 in Kelowna, BC, by Izabela and Sasha Bogdanovic.
CityViz is on a mission to empower Canadian communities with the best of the breed data tools they need to succeed in attracting investment, new businesses and talent.
Founders inspiration stems from the first project they did in the public service, a B.C. Housing Market data visualization project. They collaborated with BC Stats and Innovate BC on this project and realized that they want to use their skills and expertise for the benefit of community, and the idea of Cityviz was born.
