“The Toronto Global team was a pleasure to work with. They were a great help in connecting Nanoleaf with both public and private sector partners that have allowed us to establish our office in the Toronto Region. Furthermore, we’ve been lucky enough to receive their ongoing support as we continue to grow our business here. Moving back to Toronto was a natural move for Nanoleaf. Our three founders are all University of Toronto engineering grads and they always knew they would come back to the Toronto Region to open up an office here. We have access to support systems and resources that are not available anywhere else in the world. From the benefits of the location itself and the amazing government support and incentives, to the impressive employment pool, being here is a no-brainer. This region is a natural fit for the company and we are proud to call Toronto home.”
