About Shawinigan
Shawinigan sits on the Saint-Maurice River in Quebec with a population of about 50,060 souls indulging in "ragoût de pattes et boulettes" (stew of pig's feet and juicy meatballs) dished up with potatoes and hopefully some bread to wipe the plate clean. It's economy is derived predominantly from its last major paper mill and a large hydroelectric complex at the Shawinigan Falls that has been in operation since 1963. A town that will provide you with everything you need to lead a "nice" life, coworking appearing in its streets is providing its locals with an alternative work environment to that of taking up space in one of its cafes.
Shawinigan may not be a tech hub, but it does sit in Canada that is being touted as the business world's best-kept secret especially in the fields of artificial intelligence, clean technology and health care. Today it's competing on a global stage and is a major destination for commercial investment. The government is empowering new companies by hosting technology industry events featuring some of the world's best innovators and attracting international talent to work on world-changing innovations. The number of skilled foreign workers is skyrocketing and many scaling firms are actively hiring from overseas. The public and commercial sectors are supporting entrepreneurial communities via connecting them with the best academic institutions and businesses.
Coworking venues are but one more space for the creatives to gather en masse in collaborative mode to get their stuff done.
