MARS DISCOVERY DISTRICT

Built on the site where insulin was discovered, MaRS was founded in 2000 by a group of 14 civic leaders driven by a passion for the possible. They donated $14 million and rallied further support from government, corporations and the University of Toronto to create MaRS... Occupying 1.5 million square feet in downtown Toronto, MaRS is a diverse community of more than 120 tenants, including research labs and global tech companies, each selected to create a community that is collaborating on real solutions to important problems... From advisory services to connections to talent, capital, customers and more, MaRS offers a range of high-value services that help high-growth companies succeed. We also provide access to the MaRS ecosystem, a curated community of entrepreneurs, investors, corporates, academics and government partners.
