The Long Game | Xconomy - 0 views

  • Closer to home, Toronto recognized a few years ago that it was losing ground in the sciences, so it deleted two-square kilometers of its downtown and replaced it with the Mars Discovery District, a vast collection of intertwined university research facilities, commercial research space, and the best biotech incubator space I’ve ever seen—and I’m an incubator guy.
  •  
    MaRS is held up as an example of what an "old" city can do if they're ambitious and just decide to do something. Like when Toronto decided that it wanted to gain ground in the science knowledge economy. Nevermind that AGAIN MaRS is misrepresented as a biotech incubator -- I suppose there are worse things to be called. But still part of an ambitious, big-thinking plan to improve the science, tech and social outcomes of the economy. Amen.

  • Simple solutions - include actually using the BDC like it was designed. Simplifying and making program funding more accessible (why should a startup have to hire Tier 1 consultants to apply for SRED) and fund the innovation centres that are already here (eg. MaRS), find foreign cash and make strategic investments in universities to create centres of excellence.

Ever Been To MaRS? - Flickr - 0 views

  • This building, the old Toronto General Hospital, is now the home of MaRS - a public-private partnership designed to assist research, development, and technology initiatives and related entrepreneurs. The redone space is stunning - an open concept with glass offices looking out into a cavernous main foyer. The exterior, as seen in the photo, is pretty impressive too. Nice to see that they maintained most of the facade despite the fairly extensive internal alterations.

    Blog has a photo of the MaRS Centre and briefly mentions about the attractiveness architecture of the building.
