Innovation Park

The innovative, pioneering entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Saugeen Shores. Our strong base of technical smarts and access to inventive thinking in energy ripples out into all sectors of the economy including tourism, retail, and technology-based services. Equally important, our population is well-educated and enjoys a lifestyle unmatched in rural Ontario. Port Elgin, home to the Innovation Park, a new centre for energy innovation and a hub for clean energy. 

The Innovation Park was created to foster and build on this innovative spirit in clean energy. When multiple innovators work in close proximity ideas percolate, achievement is celebrated and shared, new thinking crosses boundaries, and innovation multiplies. That is the inspiration behind the Innovation Park, bordered by trails, history, and nature, and the future home to some of the region’s most innovative companies. 

Located at 242 Concession 6 in Port Elgin, the Innovation Park offers 17 lots on 23 acres of employment land. The Park's location, only 25 kilometres from the world's largest nuclear generating facility, Bruce Power, make it ideally suited to host businesses in the clean energy sector.  

Employers and employees alike will enjoy local amenities including our outstanding freshwater beaches, community centres, schools, childcare options, and healthcare system. And with commutes usually only minutes long and often by bike and trail Saugeen Shores is a great place to invest, live, and work.   

Lots are fully serviced with town water, wastewater, hydro, and have access to high-speed Internet.
