Tech North report aims to foster regional tech supercluster

A roundtable of regional tech startup heavyweights (including founders, ecosystem supporters, school deans, etc.) helped to put together an excellent report entitled Tech North: Building Canada’s first technology supercluster.

“Canada’s nascent technology supercluster in the Toronto-Waterloo region has the potential to become one of the world’s top innovation ecosystems. This report examines how this can be achieved and what could move Toronto-Waterloo to global technology supercluster status.

You can find the report here. Obviously for branding reasons there’s a logic in calling it the Toronto-Waterloo corridor… Waterloo’s brand in tech is first-class and Toronto is a major centre in North America – but it’s nice to see Hamilton, other urban centres, and their assets are included in the report and vision for the region as well.
