Strengthening Atlantic Canada’s innovation culture

“It’s really important to expose young entrepreneurs coming out of academia early on to the resources at the HUB. It’s incredible. I learned so much from my experiences as a young innovator completing my PhD at the same time as trying to start a company.”
– Colin Ross

They bring the expertise that delivers effective and efficient steps that keep pushing us forward." – Liam Maaskant, Co-founder, CPO, Axtion. Bridge Resident, CDL 2023

"We feel privileged to be a part of this program because the equipment required for prototyping is provided, Dalhousie engineering experts are ready to help and the HUB team is always available for support." – NovaResp Technologies
