The MaRS Centre

The MaRS Centre—both as a physical complex and as the hub for an extended virtual community—is designed to accelerate the commercialization of Canadian innovation by uniting the disparate worlds of science and technology with industry and capital. The MaRS Centre includes:

• research facilities for some of the area’s top scientists and incubation facilities for young companies;
• a cluster of professional services firms and investors, technology transfer offices, research and community networking organizations and mid-sized and established global companies;
• state-of-the-art conference and multimedia facility, as well as the programming required to animate the shared spaces and maximize the impact of cluster development.
  

The unique urban setting of MaRS connects it to other research and educational facilities in the area, the financial district and the multi-cultural, creative city core through a direct link to Toronto’s public transportation system. MaRS extends its community from this strong foundation to other regions of Ontario and beyond through people networks and an advanced Web portal.

The MaRS Centre is located in the heart of Toronto’s Discovery District at 101 College Street on the southeast corner of College and University.
