MaRS The Innovation District
Innovation means to create something that no one else has created before. Innovation is key to society because without it, we would never progress and improve on aspects of our civilization. Fortunately, innovation is highly sought-after in today's society, and there are companies that specialize in specifically helping entrepreneurs and motivated businessmen and women pursue their ideas. A company known for aiding people in creating new ventures and start-up companies is MaRS.

MaRS is aware that entrepreneurs are always willing to network and meet like-minded people, which is one of the major reasons start-up companies join the MaRS Venture Services. MaRS helps accelerate these entrepreneurs by providing expert advice, market intelligence, connections to talent and customers, and access to capital Website Source: MaRS.
Although, MaRS is not the only company that is helping to promote innovation in start-up companies. Communitech is a Canadian company located in Waterloo, Canada which looks to bring together start-ups, brands, government agencies, and academic institutions all based in the tech community. Communitech has had 30,000 visitors since the innovation hub opened its doors in 2010 Website Source: Medium.
Many other companies replicate these innovation centres and hubs like the DMZ at Ryerson University, or Innovate Calgary located at the University of Calgary's main campus. But each company works towards the same goal of promoting and supporting innovation in entrepreneurs.
