Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Now one of the world’s largest urban innovation hubs, MaRS is today home to some 6,000 people from 150 organizations who have collectively raised over $3.5 billion in capital in areas that include health, cleantech, fintech, and work and learning.

With its mix of old brick walls and soaring glass towers, the MaRS Discovery District is often singled out as a critical element in Toronto’s emergence as a leading innovation hub – and Ilse Treurnicht played a key role in making it all happen.
