MaRS supports startups and their founders. We believe their success is good for Canada and the world, so we also work to find ways of accelerating the adoption of key new technologies, and we look for ways to magnify the positive impact in our focus areas of environment, health and the economy. As a charity, we encourage our successful entrepreneurs to give back to further energize the Canadian economy, and the use of philanthropic dollars to further our mission.

The MaRS charity supports startups, tech adoption and impact. Our real estate division, MaRS Innovation Hubs, supports the mission by creating amazing communities with a broad range of tech and science players. And MaRS IAF is our VC arm, supporting startups as one of Canada’s most active seed-stage investors.
