| | Frank Baylis Spotlights Brampton’s Growing Startup Ecosystem | |
Brampton’s Innovation District continues to gain momentum, recently hosting entrepreneur and former MP Frank Baylis to spotlight the city’s growing role in Canada’s tech ecosystem. Baylis joined staff on a walking tour visiting the partners who make-up the Brampton Innovation District: Brampton Entrepreneur Centre, Brampton Venture Zone, Altitude Accelerator, Algoma NCoE Immersive Technology, Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, and BHive.
The tour included a local startup showcase at BHive featuring Brampton-based CardioSentia, ConsidraCare, Training Ground AI, Scooty, Cotriply, Flip & Floss and many more who are building practical, impact-driven solutions.
Baylis's visit highlighted the city’s growing alignment with national conversations around scaling Canadian tech, particularly in health and MedTech. As investment, talent, and infrastructure converge, Brampton is steadily carving out its place as a rising hub in Canada’s startup landscape.
Thank you to The Founders Press who covered the showcase!
