Learn in Kanata North

We are proudly partnered with four Academic Anchors leading the Academic Pillar at Hub350 to support and acquire top talent for KNBA member companies.

Two of our Anchor Academic Partners, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, occupy their own research, training and collaboration spaces at Hub350 including studios, meeting rooms, a café and garden terrace where faculty, staff and students can connect with companies on site.

This growing list of post-secondary institutions have also soft-landed in the technology park through our Hub350 Partnership Program:
