Of the many experiments and initiatives directed at bringing together technology, entrepreneurship, business resources, venture capital and incubator support, surely one of the most promising can be found in Toronto's MaRS Discovery District.
Occupying a prime, central location in downtown Toronto, literally at the intersection of Canada's finance and medical/life science hubs, the MaRS incubator houses scores of up-and-coming technology developers, entrepreneurs and industry support organizations, concentrated in the life sciences and information technology spaces.
The physical plant of the MaRS Center itself is equally impressive. Featuring extraordinary meeting space, offering a wide range of educational programs, and housing private and affiliated service providers while physically connected directly to two major teaching hospitals (and with a major expansion underway), the world will soon be discovering that there are amazing things happening -- and about to happen -- at MaRS in downtown Toronto.
MaRS is a world-class cluster initiative set to bring Canadian innovation to the world, and likely to bring many from around the world to Canada. Click here to learn more about MaRS.
