Centre for Innovation

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Centre for Innovation (CFI) is envisioned to be a landmark development in the heart of downtown Brampton that will serve as a hub for education, entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Just steps from the Brampton Innovation District Transit Hub, the CFI will feature a new central library, collaborative workspaces, digital innovation labs and flexible space for community, business and academic use.

As a cornerstone of the Brampton Innovation District​, the CFI will drive economic and cultural transformation, positioning the city to compete on a global scale.
