The Emera IdeaHUB is looking for early-stage, deep-tech startups to apply for the coming cohort of its 10-month ideaBUILD program.

The next IdeaBUILD program will accept as many as 10 teams that are working on a physical product and start with a 12-week bootcamp. Its advisers and engineers will spend almost a year helping these teams assess their market and validate and build their first operational prototype.

Each team will receive $10,000 for prototyping materials.

Applications for the program, which can be found here, close Aug. 29, and the program begins in October. The accelerator is based in the Emera IdeaHUB on Dalhousie University’s Studley Campus, but participants do not need to be affiliated with Dal to apply.
