History   The concept of the TechMap® originated in Ottawa and highlighted its homegrown technology companies. PricewaterhouseCoopers adopted the idea and expanded it to other regions of Canada. The TechMap® was adapted to become a ScienceMap® in Saskatoon by PricewaterhouseCoopers and then eventually developed into a visual website, ClusterMap® in 2000 (www.sciencemap.net). Next generation website (www.albertahub.techmap.ca) was built based on the new interface design of the ClusterMap®
