IBM comes to Hamilton
CBC Hamilton is reporting and the mayor is confirming that Big Blue is moving into Stelco tower. It’s simply incredible news for the local technology sector, the downtown core, and the health sector. There’s no name bigger than IBM.
Mayor Fred Eisenberger confirmed the impending announcement, calling it “a catalyst” that will likely lure even more companies.
IBM will be doing health informatics, which is a field that merges health information with other fields, such as computer science.
“Having a slice of that happening in Hamilton is nothing short of great,” Eisenberger said. “It’s spectacular.”
Again, this is really big, big news – without a doubt the biggest news in the history of the Hamilton technology sector. Maybe they’ll re-name it Software Tower now?
