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.

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.​
