About 18 months ago, a Boston-based venture fund that has been very active in investing in the Ottawa area was able to raise a $400 million fund from investors in the U.S., recognizing that they would invest 50 to 75 per cent in Ottawa companies, but a Canadian capital fund could not go to the same group of investors because there would have been tax implications if they had invested.
Il y a quelque 18 mois, un fonds de capital de risque de Boston, qui avait activement investi dans la région d'Ottawa, est parvenu à mobiliser 400 millions de dollars auprès d'investisseurs américains après avoir annoncé son intention d'investir 50 à 75 p. 100 de cette somme dans des sociétés d'Ottawa.
