Our Story
Informal collaboration between various knowledge based companies has existed for years within Guelph and we were a part of this. We became aware that knowledge based companies tended to gravitate to downtown Guelph. There was an organically occurring cluster that had spontaneously developed in Guelph concentrated in the downtown core. We were a part of this and wanted to develop it further.
The idea of a technology building in the downtown core to support the existing cluster was born. We realized that many of the existing knowledge based companies were unaware of each other. Disparate groups and networks of companies existed in Guelph. We reached out to meet these companies and to make them aware of each other. The response was overwhelming positive. The majority of these companies were very much interested in collaboration and in participating in a technology building.
We began our search for our building and found the one ideal building in downtown Guelph. Fate intervened and the building was taken away. Many relationships and connections were formed during our search. The dream of the technology building died but the cluster remained. We realized that the cluster could exist without the physical infrastructure to support it. Our journey has brought many companies and individuals together and has created further collaboration.
