Kudos go out to the Accelerator Centre (University of Waterloo Research + Technology Park), recently awarded second place in the award categories of ‘fastest growth’ and ‘best overall incubator’ at the 8th annual Incubator Conference November 19th and 20th in Stockholm, Sweden.

Incubator programs and organizations from all over the world took part in this competition. Award winners were decided upon based on an analysis of benchmarking survey returns combined with judgment of an expert jury.

Since it’s inception three years ago, The Accelerator Centre has:

• Successfully launched five start-ups into market, including: Miovision, Energent, Frozen North, Spark Matrix and Primal Fusion
• Sold out of square footage in one year, well ahead of schedule
• Expanded services to include residents, ‘condo’ing short-term residents, and non-resident start-ups
• Increased staff and services to a compliment of seven full-time employees and several part-time service contracts benefitting start-ups
