Ottawa, Canada's Innovation Capital

The conference will take place in in Ottawa, widely lauded as Canada's focal point for advanced technology.

Ottawa is a community of visionary entrepreneurs.

With the highest level of research and development spending per capita in the country, Ottawa has become the home of leading economic clusters in telecommunications, software, semiconductors, photonics, life sciences and professional services. An economic powerhouse with a quality of life second to none, Ottawa is one of North America's fastest growing economies, and one of the world's most progressive centres of innovation.



A four-hour drive north-east of Toronto and two hours west of Montreal, Ottawa presents visitors with a wide selection of sightseeing and outdoor-leisure options. In fact, with more than a dozen national museums and galleries, and a full calendar of festivals and activities, Canada's Capital Region has something for everyone.

Weather in Ottawa in late September can vary considerably. We often see cool days and cooler nights. We advise bringing sweaters and light jackets.
