¸£Àû¼§×ÔοNews is running a series called Spotlight on Startups to share stories about the many ways innovations come to life at the university and continue to develop in the national and global economy.
This series profiles the many entrepreneurial efforts growing from the hundreds of companies spun out from research and connections sparking every day at the University of Toronto:

And its roster of spin-off companies driving innovation in Toronto and around the world continues to grow.
