The York Technology Association was established in 1983 as an economic development community supporting the growth of technology companies in the greater Toronto Region. The Association has evolved into a cluster of economic activity, drawing together technology and key service companies supporting sustained economic development.

The YTA provides a connection to more than 5,000 leaders and influencers of the technology cluster in the Greater Toronto Region in Ontario, Canada.
The goal for the YTA is a simple one: to foster a healthy eco-system of inter-related executives, companies, technologies and services to build sustainable business success.
A not-for-profit group, the YTA is a member-driven community offering peer collaboration, innovation, education and economic development opportunity key to technology businesses and their people.
Membership is company based - with all members in an organization having access to the programs, services and events to help build community and support innovation and economic development.

“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
