Innovate Niagara has played a critical role in supporting CASi Grow and we can’t thank them enough for that support. Numerous times we reached out to Innovate Niagara with an obstacle, a need for subject matter expertise or an introduction and we received what was needed for us to move forward with our objectives. Introductions to industry and academic partners were so valuable and led to agreements and collaborations.

Innovate Niagara has contributed significantly to the stability and structure of our company and the business acumen of our management team. They supported us through a variety of programs including A3P (via Canada Media Fund) to provide mentorship and expert business support. We have benefited from many of their workshops, networking events and working in a collaborative workspace environment.

Innovate Niagara has helped us right from the start be it with validating the idea, guidance in formulating an execution plan, and even research. The most important thing for me, as a founder during the pandemic, was that Innovate Niagara helped me connect with the right people. Whether it was industry experts, potential investors or customers, they were instrumental in bringing recognition and resources to Tenantcube.
