How does Ottawa Compare?
market2world recently prepared a series of PDFs for OCRI’s global marketing group that benchmarks Ottawa against four major U.S. “tech consideration cities”: Boston, New York, San Jose, and Washington. When international companies consider locating or expanding in North America, they often forget the “North” option.The research, which leads with results from the Martin Prosperity Institute, indicates that from business taxes to healthcare costs to many other talent and lifestyle factors, Ottawa is absolutely a worthy candidate city for North American business expansion.
Below are links to the reports – thanks to Nathan Rudyk and OCRI for sharing them with us.

New York City, or Ottawa? The choice becomes more clear every day.
