Mayor Frank Scarpitti says Markham has designated about 770 hectares of private and city-owned lands that will be developed as a home for innovators.
Scarpitti says representatives from major U.S. cities such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco are also at the four-day-long Collision technology conference in Toronto to promote their own innovation hubs.Scarpitti says the Markham hub will give new and growing companies the opportunity to set up shop very close to each other, providing an environment that helps foster successive collaboration among startup companies.
"At the end of the day, this may attract a big employer but what we're providing for are the companies that are starting up, scaling up, looking to grow and looking to attract talent that will help them innovate."
