Lot 17 Technology Group Inc.
We are four people that grew up in the information age, working together on projects we enjoy, in Downtown Summerside. When you think about technology & innovation, you may imagine investment groups, frenzied paced research, careful calculating, lab coats, pub nights, who knows. With us we solve the problems we encounter by mixing stuff we find and things we make.
Each time we solve a problem we have an opportunity to capitalize and develop a new product or service for sale and for export. We’re creative people, modelling business opportunities while doing the kinds of work we enjoy. Can we help you solve a problem of yours? Think of us as your neighbour with the ladder when you’ve gotten locked out but there is a window you can almost reach – your technical co-workers who may or may not be in the pub, wearing lab coats, doing calculations, open for business and making cool stuff.
