More Support for Entrepreneurs, Businesses in Cape Breton

Cape Breton businesses now have more space, support and resources close to home with the official opening of the new Cape Breton Business Innovation Centre in Sydney today, January 12. The new centre brings key supports together in one location, helping entrepreneurs start, grow and scale their businesses in Cape Breton.

This centre will give entrepreneurs access to the expertise, networks and tools they need to succeed, while helping to attract and retain talent, support job creation and drive new opportunities for investment and growth, not only in Cape Breton but across the globe.

-John White, Minister of Housing and MLA for Glace Bay-Dominion, on behalf of Colton LeBlanc, Minister of Growth and Development

Ignite Atlantic has hired a community navigator and an operations and event co-ordinator to support local engagement and programming, while Volta is providing strategic support to businesses; both share space with the centre. 

The space will also serve as a shared resource for other partners, including Invest Nova Scotia, ACOA, the Black Business Initiative, the Centre for Entrepreneurship Education and Development and Futurpreneur.
