Welcome to CreativeEconomyCapital.com, the community-driven Web site that tells Ottawa’s tech success stories to the world!

Professor Richard Florida, the award-winning author of Who’s Your City?, rates Ottawa as the “Best Overall” city in Canada on a “Creative Class Index” based on the 3Ts of economic development – Technology, Talent and Tolerance. That's why Ottawa has dubbed itself “Canada’s Creative Economy Capital”.

Ottawa also rates higher on many economic and quality of life criteria than American cities such as New York, Boston, Washington and San Jose (see city comparisons PDFs here). 

CreativeEconomyCapital.com is here to demonstrate and celebrate Ottawa's tech sector strengths! Enjoy reading the contributed blogs or watching the videos that explain Ottawa's technology advantage.
