President Hamdullahpur comments on Waterloo region’s vibrancy, strength

Thursday, October 10, 2013

The Waterloo region is a global innovation hub – one of the world top 20 startup ecosystems according to Startup Genome, and a place growing in renown for its innovative character.

Mobile computing company BlackBerry's revolutionary contribution to Canada's technological and economic landscape is a point of pride for the Waterloo community.

However, as the Waterloo region continues to lead Canada’s innovation agenda by promoting entrepreneurship and industry-university partnership, President Hamdullahpur reminds Canadians that Waterloo’s rise as an international hub for innovation neither beings nor ends with BlackBerry – not by a long shot.
