Abstract
A short distance west of Toronto, Ontario, one finds what has come to be called ‘Canada’s Technology Triangle’ (CTT). The Triangle is an established system of four networked municipalities — Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo and Guelph which together comprise one of Canada’s most thriving socio-economic regions as supported by a range of indicators such as regional employment, new firm creation and regional growth rates (Smith 1996).
