Startups at MaRS.

Faced with unprecedented demand for space from web and mobile startups, the Information technology, Communications and Entertainment (ICE) practice at MaRS announces a new home for the most promising emerging companies, the MaRS Commons. The MaRS Commons provides both a physical space and a community that supports entrepreneurs in growing successful global businesses.

“The power of place to anchor a community and accelerate innovation is at the heart of MaRS,” said Ilse Treurnicht, CEO, MaRS Discovery District. “The MaRS Commons, which complements our existing incubator, is designed as a focal point for Toronto’s burgeoning web and mobile technology ecosystem, combining a great space with community, education, networking and mentorship.”

“The ongoing education and mentorship of young entrepreneurs is an essential ingredient to unleash Canada’s innovation potential. We are delighted to partner with MaRS on the creation of the Commons, a space and community that will be a wonderful launch pad for our entrepreneurial students and alumni.”
