During the past couple of years, I have noticed a shift in many entrepreneurs, from a "me-too" mentality to a "dare-to-be-different" one. Innovation seems to be the new cool today, and it is fostered by a growing interest from government and Universities, in research, new technology and new sciences.
In order to support this movement, more innovation centres are popping up Canada-wide, with the mandate to assist entrepreneurs find financial resources to bring their ideas to life. Most of these centres offer an office space and a hub of governmental advisors, mentors, angel investors and VCs.
It's great to see so much interest in innovation, and while there is no doubt that investing in research, technology and new sciences are important for Canada, I think, more needs to be done to cover startups in all fields, regardless of province or age of their owners.
However, no matter your industry, these centres provide excellent knowledge through free seminars and programs that can help you create a successful business.
To help you locate a centre near you, I started a map with the ones I knew of. Do you know other centres that are not there? Let me know and I'll add them on the map.
