Hub Ottawa joins global trend for meeting of minds
Carolyn Thompson, The Ottawa Citizen
OTTAWA — The floor is rough concrete. Fluorescent lights and large metal tubes drape from the ceiling. The walls are painted in bright red and yellow, littered with post-its and hand-written signs. A few tables are scattered through the space, and a mish-mash of chairs surround a computer projecting onto the wall.
Right now, its an open, industrial space on the 6th floor of a building at 71 Bank St. But by next February, this will be the newly designed home of Hub Ottawa.
It’s part of a global chain of Hubs — places where people interested in social innovation can come to work, share ideas, and network. And this weekend was the first time that Hub Ottawa was open to the public.
“We’re in the business of catalyzing ideas for a better community,” says Vinod Rajasekaran, the managing director for Hub Ottawa. Rajasekaran was studying in Bristol, England, when he first discovered the Hub there. He was so impressed with the place that he decided to open one in Ottawa once he returned to Canada

The 3i Summit 2011 draws on the life work, dreams and inspiration of dozens of Ottawa’s most dynamic innovators. Just like we did in the inaugural 3i Summit 2009, we will bring together a unique blend of world renowned architects, artists, Olympic athletes, poets, award winning professors, musical prodigies, homeless people, writers, youth activists. Each of them will be sharing, in 15 minute presentations, their passions, struggles and dreams for Ottawa in 2049 and one concrete action that can be taken to achieve that dream.
