What Convergence Entry does

Not a coworking package. The program-level front door.

Convergence Entry is a short, structured intake designed to do three things well.

Identify the right track for your business.

A brief intake conversation identifies which of the four tracks gives your business the infrastructure and partners it actually needs.

Place you on the right co-working tier.

Once cluster-coded, you're placed on a co-working tier (virtual through dedicated desk) with optional bundled access to structural infrastructure.

Introductions to the people who matter.

Cluster-specific introductions to strategic partnership opportunities, Western University researchers, and strategic industry working groups.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most.

What if I'm a Western researcher?
Western University-affiliated researchers commercializing intellectual property can access Convergence through a streamlined pathway, accelerating the transition from research to market-ready innovation.
Do I have to commit to a track at intake?
No. Cluster-coding is a conversation, not a contract. You can adjust as your business evolves.
Can I be in two tracks?
Companies bridging clusters — for example, a biomechanics company spanning Convergence Labs and Foundry — are common. We'll structure access accordingly.
