Techopia Live: uOttawa’s growing presence in Kanata North | Episode 270
Techopia Live: uOttawa’s growing presence in Kanata North | Episode 270

If you study the history of the most successful tech centres in the United States ‒ think about places such as Silicon Valley, Boston and North Carolina ‒ that have a common element. In all these places, entrepreneurship and innovation were built on the foundations of universities and colleges. This collaboration between the private sector and post-secondary institutions provides many advantages, including a pipeline for talent, research and development and a culture of entrepreneurship. This same strategy is at work in Ottawa, especially in Kanata North, where the University of Ottawa recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of its west-end campus. Over the five years, uOttawa has doubled the size of its campus in Kanata, struck more than 60 research and development collaborations and dramatically increased the number of co-op students working in the technology park. In this episode of Techopia Live, Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran speaks with Sean Geddes, the director of innovation and partnership in Kanata North.

Being an employer is tough and getting tougher. This post-pandemic world has most employers feeling overwhelmed with HR-related issues: figuring out hybrid work, boosting employee engagement, dealing with inflationary wage pressures, and harnessing artificial intelligence. In partnership with the Ottawa Board of Trade, Ottawa Business Journal wants to help. Research clearly indicates that talent issues are among the biggest barriers to growth. OBJ is calling on business owners, entrepreneurs, managers and HR professionals to devote an entire day to talent on Oct. 17 at Best Places to Work 2024. In this special podcast, OBJ publisher Michael Curran provides a preview of Best Places to Work, including interviews with Cindy Cutts, show manager, Amanda Baressi, employer services manager for WCG Employment Ontario, and Mike Deslauriers, lead volunteer for DisruptHR Ottawa.
