"One of the greatest things that Kitchener-Waterloo has done, better than any other city in the country, is create a cluster."
John Ruffolo is pacing the floor at Toronto's OneEleven, a 15,000-square-foot co-working space that opened this week one block north of the city's financial district. The CEO of OMERS Ventures, Ruffolo is in his element as he unfurls a bold vision for the Kitchener-Waterloo/Greater Toronto Area: The time is now, he tells the crowd of 170, to stop thinking of the region as a pair of separately-functioning communities. If the nation's innovation sector is ever to realize its full potential, he declares, the Highway 401 corridor must be actively transformed into a technology "supercluster."
