Kingston, ON. Canada
Supporting Scale-Up Together
RXN HUB was born to empower the chemtech ecosystem to advance the commercialization of chemical technologies.
A coalition of leading organizations from across Canada’s innovation ecosystem came together around a shared mission: to accelerate the commercialization of technologies that transform how we live—what we call “ChemTech”.
​
Chemistry is essential to modern society, yet bringing new chemical technologies to market—ones that can improve quality of life—is often hindered by high costs, infrastructure challenges, and knowledge barriers.
​
That’s where RXN HUB comes in.
Rooted in a first-of-its-kind facility in Kingston, Ontario—a city known for its rich chemical heritage and recognized as the first municipality in Canada to declare a climate emergency—RXN HUB is purpose-built to advance this mission. Developed in collaboration with the “doers” of the ecosystem and led by industry experts who have navigated commercialization challenges firsthand, RXN HUB equips innovators with the infrastructure, strategic guidance, and connected environment they need to scale solutions and drive lasting impact.
Built by the ecosystem, for the ecosystem. RXN HUB was founded by:
20+ year old world-leading contract research & development organization in metallurgical chemistry.
Canada's leading bioeconomy organization providing critical strategic investment, advice, and services.
National industry association for the cleantech industry that focuses on advocacy and policy.
