Toronto is fortunate to have a number of startup incubators. The MaRS Discovery District is the largest of them. The Research Innovation Commercialization (RIC) Centre is another.
For those starting a business or candidates applying for a job, it would be a great idea to review the Entrepreneur's Toolkit and MaRS Library.

thingamy - irrelevant competition
For those concerned about this 'forget about competing' attitude allow me to suggest that:
"The best way to beat your competition is to make them irrelevant."There is no way around 'being different' - the core of creativity, an unavoidable part of business strategy and the source of success in a competitive market.Creativity has to start at the top, and not so much by focus on the usual 'how to create a creative organisation'. The leaders must be extremely creative themselves and dare to be different.
Go and be different.
