Catalyst Commons, Kitchener’s fastest-growing co-working space, is excited to announce the opening of a significant expansion to its facility. At over 125,000 square feet, this move solidifies it as Canada’s largest privately held co-working space and further positions Catalyst as Waterloo Region’s leading hub for entrepreneurial innovation.
With the addition of this expansion, Catalyst is also proud to announce its role as the first operational site under the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) Incubators initiative. Announced by Ontario Premier Doug Ford earlier this year, this initiative will serve as a catalyst for Ontario’s automotive and mobility sector, accelerating the creation and growth of new Ontario-based companies and connecting them with the global market.
Founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneurs Kurtis McBride, Amber French and Angela Watkins, Catalyst Commons is an industry-driven centre for businesses of all sizes, promoting collaboration, growth and innovation. Since its inception, Catalyst has attracted over 150 companies, creating a vibrant ecosystem for businesses to thrive. Among the latest additions to the Catalyst community are industry giants such as Bloomberg, IMAX, Conga, Miovision and IPON, McCallum Santher, Skillswave, ThinkLP, Bridgit, Cabinovo and DialPad.
As part of this collaboration with Mercedes-Benz as the first partner, the OVIN Incubators are designed to bridge the gap between applied research and the commercialization of intellectual property, connecting industry leaders, startups, scale-ups and post-secondary institutions. As part of this collaboration, the Kitchener-Waterloo site at Catalyst Commons will host space for entrepreneurs and startups, connecting regional activities in this area focused on building the next generation of Ontario-based automotive and mobility ventures and strengthening the province’s automotive supply chain.
