In recent years, Canada's innovation landscape has grown to rival that of our southern neighbour. There are many reasons for this, including Canada's highly skilled and highly educated workforce, relatively low corporate tax rate and strong academic institutions, and a market of venture capitalists that are willing to make investments. This confluence of forces creates a strong backdrop for entrepreneurialism and innovation.

Ontario is the most populous province in Canada and is one of the country's central economic nodes. It has benefited greatly from the burgeoning entrepreneurial and innovative ecosystem.

Our experience is that at a macro level, growth begets growth. As the Ontario region has created winning conditions for companies like Shopify, Hootsuite Media, and KiK, more and more startups are entering the scene. To support these startups, a strong community of business incubators and accelerators has emerged across Ontario. Aird & Berlis LLP has put together a list of select incubators and accelerators that you might find useful.

We are confident that this list of business incubators and accelerators located in Ontario will help you find the resources you need – whether you have a great idea and don't know what comes next, or you are well on your way to becoming Canada's next unicorn/narwhal.
