Canadian Venture Exchange offers a public funding alternative for Ottawa innovation companies
November 10, 2009 Ottawa’s innovation sector has long been constrained by limited venture capital (VC) investment, a situation now further eroded by a recession that has stifled fund raising efforts through the past two years. According to today’s Ottawa Business Journal, data from a report released Tuesday by Canada's Venture Capital and Private Equity Association shows Ottawa-area investments totalled $10.94 million in the third quarter, down from the $51.5-million peak recorded during the same period a year earlier, and also from the $18.39 million invested in the second quarter of 2009.
