Nova Scotia Business Inc. has selected six companies to join the latest cohort of its Scaleup Hub: Cambridge program.

NSBI launched the program last year as a vehicle to help scaling companies establish a base in Cambridge, MA., and generate sales. In December, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency provided $280,500 to allow the Nova Scotia economic development agency to expand the program, offering it to scaling companies from around the region.

The program offers the winners the following resources for a full year: working space in Cambridge; assistance with selling in the New England marketplace; and the services of an in-market business development team to help with sales strategy and market development.

NSBI on Thursday posted on social media the names of the companies participating in the cohort:
