Join Us
There are two ways to join Venture13.
Innovation Commons
The Venture13 Innovation Commons is a community space that offers public access to an 80-seat Lecture Hall (ideal for TEDx style talks, interactive learning, and product demonstrations) with adjoining seminar rooms for break-outs, workshops and other applied and hands-on learning opportunities. The Innovation Commons is adjoined to the Venture13 front entrance and reception area which includes the Town of Cobourg’s Economic Development offices and the Northumberland Manufacturers Association. Our facilities include a public Wi-Fi connection and galley kitchen to support event catering.
Booking Availability
The V13 Innovation Commons facilities are available to the public for booking at standard rates. Please sign-in as a guest on our web-based platform to explore events or book your own activities at Venture13 (open to individuals, businesses and organizations).
While not in private use, the Lecture Hall garage doors are open, creating an open atmosphere in the amphitheatre for spontaneous flows of people and ideas. The Lecture Hall offers high-quality and interactive audio-visual and tele-conferencing capabilities due to the investment and support of Fleming College, our leading post-secondary innovation partner at Venture13.
VentureZone
The Venture13 VentureZone is a flexible co-working and accelerator space delivered by Northumberland CFDC, whose offices adjoin the VentureZone.
Membership in the V13 VentureZone offers technology startups and early-stage innovation-driven enterprises flexible office infrastructure, fibre connection, secure 24/7 access and other superior amenities, including, for physical technology startups, access to the V13 MakerLab (additional fees apply).
Membership in the VentureZone is prioritized for availability to approved clients of Northumberland CFDC. The reason for this is that normally we need to see that your venture is duly established under the laws of Ontario and that you have a basic business and marketing plan in place with clear, measurable objectives that we believe we can effectively support through our programming. Partner companies will normally be with us up to 24 months, after which we will support your local spin-off and business expansion (ideally into Northumberland and Eastern Ontario).
