The Scale-Up Hub: Cambridge project has extended the deadline for applications for its next cohort – which will be a virtual program – until Friday.
The program, which helps scaling companies find clients in the New England market, is looking for about a half-dozen Atlantic Canadian companies to participate. You can find application forms here.
The program usually offers companies a base in Cambridge, Mass. for a year, but it will now be held online due to the pandemic.
“It’s a challenging time and not easy to make crucial connections to customers because of travel restrictions,” said Lisa Dobson, Nova Scotia Business Inc.'s Sector Lead for ITC. “Scale-Up Hub: Cambridge has pivoted and we are exploring unique ways to connect our companies to customers in the New England market.”
NSBI launched the program in 2018 as a vehicle to help scaling companies establish a base in Cambridge, MA., and generate sales. The project aims to give growing tech companies long-term exposure to a major market, allowing them to develop a customer base that will hopefully continue to grow after their term with the program ends. It is now funded by the federal government and all four Atlantic Provinces to ensure companies across the region can benefit.
The companies that participated in the program last year were:
- Beauceron Security, Fredericton;
- EcoPilot Canada, Halifax;
- LeeWay Marine, Dartmouth;
- Northern Business Intelligence, Dartmouth;
- ScreenScape, Charlottetown;
- And Smartpods Technologies, Moncton.
