Kanata North builds world-class technology and is the largest technology park in Canada. Kanata North is booming, and defence spending is the new accelerant.
Canada hit NATO’s 2% of GDP target in 2025–26, spending more than $63 billion on defence, and is on a path to 5% by 2035. The Defence Industrial Strategy launched in February aims to steer 70% of defence purchases to Canadian firms, with a focus on AI, quantum, cyber, space and digital infrastructure. That’s exactly what Kanata North does best.
That money runs through the federal government and Ottawa is the national capital of Canada. Defence startups, established suppliers and foreign firms that want to chase Canadian contracts all need a credible local presence close to federal decision-makers. Kanata North, just minutes from National Defence headquarters at the Carling Avenue campus, is the natural place to land.
While Kanata North has world-class technology campuses that house well-known technology companies, many of the smaller teams that need a presence have trouble finding office space that is smaller, furnished, turnkey and has all the amenities they need without having to sign a long term lease.
That’s why we’ve selected Kanata North for our 3rd WorkAway Offices location. It will be at 495 March Road, right in the heart of the Kanata North tech park.
To get down to business quickly, these firms will need flexible furnished office space that will allow them to expand or reduce quickly whenever needed. They can get onboarded quickly, have front-desk service, a professional presence, a recognized address, and a selection of meeting rooms available when needed.
Built for how Kanata tech actually works
Startups and founders. Skip agonizing over a long-term lease, along with all the responsibilities and expenses of setting up a new office. With WorkAway, you can choose from a large variety of various sized private offices, or opt for a coworking desk. We have enterprise-grade internet, a wonderful Café Lounge with free premium coffee and tea, and we offer meeting room rentals on demand. Put all the money you will save into production and hiring.
Scale-ups. Hiring three people next quarter? Expand easily with WorkAway. Add additional offices, or move to a bigger office down the hall, not across the city. Month-to-month terms mean your space grows at the speed of your headcount.
Satellite and project teams. Out-of-town companies landing talent in Kanata North get a professional base without the commitment of a branch office. Ideal for a new engineering pod, a pilot program or a sales team covering Ottawa.
Remote employees of big tech. Your company went hybrid. Your living room didn’t sign up for it. WorkAway gives you a quiet, professional place to focus, minutes from campus, without the commute downtown.
Everyone. Book boardrooms for investor pitches and client demos, record product videos and podcasts in our studio, and use a virtual business address for credibility from day one.
More than a desk: We’re Creating a Community
The best ideas in Kanata North have always come from people bumping into each other. Our monthly lunch-and-learns, Café Lounge and community get togethers put founders, engineers and operators in the same room.
