As part of our 2020 Ecosystem Roadmap, we’re drawing up a list of new programs in the Atlantic Canadian Ecosystem, and would love to learn about any we've missed.
These could be accelerators, funding programs or other initiatives to support startups or scaleups in the region. They must be designed for innovation-driven enterprises that are targeting a global market.
This is an odd year because of the pandemic, and many organizations implemented short-term measures to help companies survive the closing of the economy. We’re NOT interested in those programs. We’re interested in listing the long-term programs that are designed to carry on into the new year, and possibly beyond.
In essence, we’re trying to assess how the ecosystem has continued to evolve in the past year.
We will add new programs to our online Ecosystem Roadmap – the only one-stop resource that lists all the supports available to entrepreneurs across the region. And we will produce an article on Entrevestor.com listing the new programs available to founders.
These are the new programs and organizations we’re aware of so far:
- Health Challenge Pitch Event
- Lab2Market
- MarketSwell Solutions
- Nova Scotia Innovation Hub
- Ocean Startup Project
- Ready2Launch
I’m sure we’ve missed some. If your organization has a new program, or if your organization has launched in the last year, please let us know. Please email us at peter@entrevestor.com with the words “New Program” in the subject line.
We can't guarantee we'll list every program, but we want to make sure we have all the major initiatives that help entrepreneurs launch and grow their companies.
