Communitech’s regional goal is help technology companies “Start, Grow, and Succeed”.
We will realize that objective by:
1. Working
With regional companies — from start-up to SME to global success story — by creating programs and services that meet their needs.
2. Building
Relationships and spurring growth by bringing entrepreneurs, private sector companies, government and educational institutions together. By attracting thousands of skilled technology professionals to the region.
3. Fostering
Continuous learning, peer networking, and a sense of community (both online and offline) across our technology cluster.
4. Presenting
The region as Canada’s pre-eminent technology cluster, securing its place among global technology ecosystems and making it irresistible to foreign investment.
Recognizing the strengths of cities within our technology cluster
We have offices in Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge, Ontario, and bring technology leaders in Guelph and Cambridge, Ontario, together through our Peer2Peer program. Communitech respects and caters to the core competencies of these and other areas in Waterloo Region.
At the same time we work to connect these assets both directly — by answering questions and making connections — and indirectly, through the many events and peer groups we make available to our members.
For example, this blog by Communitech staffer Jim Beretta speaks to the foundation of advanced manufacturing in Cambridge — and how technology is part and parcel of its future.
