Shaping the future of tech
We bring community and technology together to keep Waterloo Region a globally competitive tech hub. Since 1997, we’ve connected startups, scale-ups and large tech organizations with the people, programs and spaces they need to compete and lead. Behind every great founder is a community that’s got its back. That’s why we collaborate across the region to connect companies with the right talent, capital, customers and expert support, when and where they need it most. Today, that means helping trusted AI solutions reach the market, turning bold ideas into valuable IP and strengthening the connections that make Waterloo Region Canada’s most collaborative and resilient tech ecosystem.
