Where is Cohere headquartered?

Cohere's global headquarters is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at 171 John Street, Suite 200. Toronto is the company's founding city and largest hub, reflecting its roots in the Canadian AI research ecosystem (the Vector Institute, the University of Toronto, and Geoffrey Hinton's lineage).

Keeping its HQ in Canada is also strategically aligned with Cohere's sovereign-AI positioning and its base of Canadian institutional investors (PSP, BDC) and customers like RBC and Bell. Once the Aleph Alpha merger closes, the combined company plans dual headquarters in Toronto and Germany, but Toronto remains the center of gravity.

Beyond Toronto, Cohere runs offices in New York (US East Coast hub), San Francisco/Palo Alto (US West Coast hub), London (EMEA hub), Montreal, Paris, and Seoul. The North American offices concentrate engineering and go-to-market, while London and Paris anchor European enterprise sales.

The pending merger with Germany's Aleph Alpha and the sovereign-cloud partnership with the Schwarz Group (STACKIT) will substantially expand Cohere's European presence, adding Germany as a major center of gravity and a likely public-sector hub for the combined transatlantic company.

Cohere's buyers and decision-makers cluster in three time zones: Eastern (Toronto/New York/Montreal — the executive and commercial center), Pacific (San Francisco/Palo Alto — engineering), and Western Europe (London/Paris, soon Germany). Plan outreach and field events around those hubs rather than a single HQ city.

For ABM and field marketing, Toronto and New York are the highest-density targets for reaching the executive team, while London and Paris are the entry points for the European sovereign-AI motion. As the Aleph Alpha integration proceeds, expect German-language and EU-public-sector territories to become a distinct, fast-growing segment with its own buying committee.
