Entrevestor will be participating in the release of the Halifax Index on Thursday at 9 am, bringing our insights on startup and innovation to the Halifax Partnership’s annual assessment of the city’s economy.

The Halifax Index tracks the city’s metrics across major themes: people, labour, investment and innovation, affordability and quality of place. It includes a progress report on Halifax’s Economic Growth Plan for 2016 to 2021 and insights into the pace of Halifax’s recovery from COVID-19.

I will present the Halifax-specific findings from our 2020 Atlantic Canada Startup Data report, touching on such things as the number of startups, their revenue, employees and funding.

You can sign up for this free event here.

At Entrevestor, we’ve enjoyed a partnership with the Halifax Innovation District for the past year, providing content for the district’s website. We recently wrote a piece on the evolution of the oceantech ecosystem in Halifax, which is being tapped by companies from around the world.

On the day after the Halifax Index release, we’ll launch our full Startup Data report in a virtual event hosted by Volta. It takes place at 12 noon on Friday, and you can register for the Data Report launch here.
