Tech About Town gives you an inside look at what's happening in Waterloo Region tech. Each episode brings you a unique view from a founder, ecosystem partner, Communitecher and maybe a local celebrity. Communitech was founded in 1997 by a group of entrepreneurs committed to making Waterloo Region a global innovation leader. At the time it was just a wild idea, but somehow this community managed to pull it off. Today, Communitech is a public-private innovation hub that supports a community of more than 1,600 companies — from startups to scale-ups to large global players.
