Overview
The Pepsi Community Innovation Hub at SYN London will be a destination and gathering space for synergy, collaboration and innovation, across sectors and cultures. It will provide much needed access to technology, resources, meeting space, and networking and partnership opportunities across the diverse populations represented by our partnership -- arts, culture, heritage; nonprofit and social enterprise; downtown innovators and investors; new Canadians and youth of all backgrounds. In addition to providing access to resources typically out of reach for these demographics, it will encourage these audiences to create efficiencies and partnerships across sectors. Key deliverables: 1. state-of-the-art meeting space for collaboration and innovative projects; 2. 10 new collaborative programs per year focusing on cultural education, civic engagement, entrepreneurism, sustainable practices, social innovation; 3. space accessed by a min of 10,000 diverse Londoners per year.
