Why Work In Ottawa?

Ottawa is not yet known as a biotechnology hub, so why would a biotech company choose to establish its corporate head office in Canada's National Capital region? The answer is easy. Ottawa is home to large populations of government, academic and research institutions which produce top quality scientific talent; it is also home to a booming high tech corridor which produces top quality business professionals in all disciplines. The intersection of these ripe pools of talent allows us to build a very strong biotech company grounded in talented individuals who bring diverse perspectives and solutions to our business opportunities - and that's just the business rational for our geographic location.

Ottawa is also a great place to live, work and play. It is Canada's National Capital drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists each year to visit its parliament buildings, festivals, historic landmarks, museums, parks, sports teams, and so much more.

The greater Ottawa region is home to just under one million residents, but it still manages to hold onto to some of that small town flavor with its unique shops, markets and restaurants in the various city neighborhoods; not to mention that it won Money Sense magazines "Canada's Best Places to Live 2011", a title it has held in previous years as well.

Whether you want to take in a concert by a Grammy winning artist or catch a Ottawa Senators game at the Canadian Tire Centre, see a Broadway show at the National Arts Centre, or simply take a scenic walk along the Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the opportunities for adventure are endless.

For the active enthusiast, Ottawa is home to over 200 kilometers (124 miles) of bike and walking paths, it's only a 10 minute drive from the nearest downhill ski hill, and you can be white water rafting in a little over 1 hour. There is something to do here 365 days a year and quite frankly we wouldn't want our company to be located anywhere else.
