SPUR isn't just a data centre and a venture studio, it's a campus, a calendar, and a network. The Community pillar is where you meet everyone else: who we are, the projects shipping out of the centre right now, the events we're hosting, the news we're publishing, and the partnerships open to anyone in our region. Drop in.
SPUR Innovation Centre spurs innovation. We help individuals, startups, and innovators develop revolutionary technology, giving them the capital, compute, talent, and physical space to turn an idea into a company. We are a Canadian frontier-tech venture studio and infrastructure operator.
From a 700,000 sq ft Waterloo headquarters and more than 2 million sq ft of innovation and data-centre space across Canada, we build companies and the sovereign infrastructure they run on.
SPUR is built to spur entrepreneurship and innovation across Canada. We open our doors, our compute, and our courses to the people, schools, and organizations around us, locally in Waterloo, regionally across Ontario, and nationally from coast to coast.
The Waterloo headquarters is open to the community as a place to build, learn, and meet. Hackathons, demo days, robotics events with local schools, and drop-in office hours for early-stage founders happen on the same campus that hosts the SPUR data centre.
The Innovation Centre is Canada's premier venture studio, anchored in Waterloo, Ontario, at the epicentre of AI and frontier innovation. We have transformed a landmark Waterloo campus into a flagship hub for AI, high-performance computing, and deep-tech innovation, built for density of talent, collaboration, and execution.
SPUR is expanding across Canada to build a national platform for secure, Canadian-owned AI, HPC, and quantum capability.
A hub for ongoing AI innovation events, workshops, pitch sessions, and community gatherings. SPUR hosts landmark events that connect founders, researchers, investors, and enterprises, turning talent density into real companies, including SpurHacks and our flagship gatherings.
Announcements, deployments, partnerships, and stories from the frontier of Canadian innovation. The full feed is served live from the SPUR newsroom, latest entries first, with a quarterly digest of fleet deployments, studio launches, and education milestones you can get in your inbox.
Attend an event, ship a project from the campus, or partner with us on the next one. The door is open to anyone in the region.
