VTS is a New York-based property technology company that delivers an easy-to-use, intuitive platform that empowers commercial real estate professionals to work smarter, not harder. Identified by Toronto Global’s Investment Attraction team as an FDI opportunity, VTS worked with Toronto Global to establish a regional office in Toronto, specifically for its new product development centre. VTS was looking to take advantage of the city’s deep pool of engineering talent and strong commercial real estate customer base. The Toronto Region was the clear choice for VTS due to its innovative and high-quality tech talent pool, proximity to its Canadian market and the region’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Our second product development centre is a critical milestone for VTS. Toronto was at the top of our list of potential locations thanks to the unparalleled quality of tech talent in the city. This also allows us to be close to our rapidly expanding Canadian customer base. Toronto has an impressive reputation of fostering tech innovation and I’m incredibly excited for VTS to officially be a part of this community.
