Shaping the future of tech

For over 27 years, Communitech has been the convener of Waterloo Region’s tech ecosystem—connecting founders to the people, programs and opportunities they need to grow. What started as a technology cluster has evolved into a national network, where strong partnerships with industry leaders, government and investors allow us to provide seamless support to startups and scale-ups across Ontario and Canada.
We believe no founder should scale alone. We collaborate across the region to connect companies with the right talent, capital, customers and expert support—when and where they need it most.
