Carleton University Opens Purpose-Built Innovation Space in Ottawa High-Tech Hub

This fall, Carleton will open a purpose-built innovation space at Kanata North’s Hub350, a brand new ecosystem in Canada’s largest technology park where industry, finance and academic partners will collaborate and connect. For the university, the initiative will establish an important springboard to expand research and educational partnerships.

“This unique facility in Kanata North fully leverages our proximity to this national innovation hub and further enhances Carleton’s reputation as a leader in high-tech research, teaching and innovation,” said Carleton President Benoit Antoine-Bacon. “In close contact with tech industry leaders, our students will cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset and benefit from hands-on learning towards leadership positions in this critical sector.”

“Carleton will work with Kanata North businesses to develop new talent pipelines and opportunity for cross-disciplinary and work-integrated learning, and our student entrepreneurs will connect more easily with Kanata North businesses,” says Dana Brown, dean of the Sprott School of Business.

“Overall, Carleton seeks to help create a feedback loop where tech park strengths support university research and learning, which in turn bolsters private-sector success that feeds back into the university.”
