Book excerpt: The 2016 edition of the Input Indicators of the British Columbia High Technology Sector report is prepared by BC Stats, and is the thirteenth in a series of reports first produced in 2000. [...] All indicators have been updated to the latest year for which data were available as of January 2017.2 Indicators of the success, or "outputs" of the high technology sector, are covered by a companion report, the Profile of the British Columbia Technology Sector. [...] The education-based components of the B. C. government's new technology strategy, such as the addition of coding to school curricula and providing high-speed internet access to 100% of the province, could potentially have an impact on the province's educational and tech-adoption indicators in the future. [...] The purpose of the report was to monitor the high technology sector from the input side, by measuring and analyzing the production and application of knowledge, and the climate, institutions and funding arrangements that make this knowledge available for the development of the provincial high technology sector. [...] Focusing on the degrees awarded on a per capita basis provides some indication of the overall education level of the province and the ability of the high tech sector to use these educated individuals.6 The likely presence of skilled and educated professionals in a high technology economy is indicated by the number of graduates per capita who hold undergraduate and graduate degrees.
