Morẹ́nikẹ́ Ọláòṣebìkan is on a mission to address global medication shortages. Ọláòṣebìkan, who is the CEO of Kemet Advanced Manufacturing Ltd., the tech startup she founded to do just that, could have started her tech business anywhere - Silicon Valley or Boston, for example - but she chose Edmonton.  "There's just a quality to Edmonton that allows out-of-the-box thinking to take root and then to have people resource and come around you and support you that way," Ọláòṣebìkan said.  She's not alone. Despite an economy hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, tech startups like Kemet are continuing to choose Edmonton to establish and scale up their businesses. It bodes well for attracting much-needed young talent to the city - and getting the talent already here to stay.
