If you are going to name your company a bunch of letters, shouldn't you put somewhere on your site what those letters stand for? So what the hell does BCIC mean?

British Columbia Innovation Council: www.bcic.ca.

They're a crown corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_corporations_of_Canada)

From their site: "BCIC develops entrepreneurial talent and commercializes technology through startup companies and partnerships between industry and academia. BCIC focuses on competitively positioning British Columbia in today's global knowledge economy in order to provide significant employment opportunities and a high standard of living for British Columbians."

As others have said, I checked the site and couldn't find the meaning anywhere I looked. Granted, I did not check the entire site word for word, but you would think they would make it obviously clear somewhere what the letters stood for.

I had the same question, so I went to the BCIC website. It doesn't say what BCIC stands for either. I had to look it up in Wikipedia!
