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
