Outstanding technology research development
The Toronto Region is the third largest technology industry cluster in North America (after New York and San Franciso), and has a broad-based technology sector with strengths in biometrics, financial services, health informatics, security technology, and new communication research in wireless and RFID. Information technology industry growth in the region is evidenced by the strong showing of companies on the annual Branham Top Tech 50, Deloitte Technology Fast 50, and Profit Magazine's Hot 50 lists.
New communication research; new information technology research
A diverse industrial base with multiple technology needs and a strong, publicly- funded research system have put the Toronto Region on the high-tech map. Internationally-respected IT programs at the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo produce innovative, highly-skilled graduates who are in demand worldwide.
Two of the world's top research facilities in the revolutionary fields of theoretical physics and quantum information processing are based at the University of Waterloo. Together, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Institute for Quantum Computing allow researchers to work from fundamental investigations through to commercialization of their discoveries.
