Toronto Discovery District
What is the Toronto Discovery District? It is a 2.5 square kilometre research park that is fully integrated into Toronto's downtown core. In total, the biomedical industry in Toronto has over 700 companies providing jobs for more than 80,000 people and more than 800 million dollars in annual research funding. It is probably the most concentrated mix of research, bio-medical companies, finance and business support services anywhere in the world. More than $500 million has currently been invested in the Medical and Related Sciences (MaRS) commercialization center that will support basic research and the commercialization of new scientific discoveries in the Toronto area http://www.marsdd.com/.
