MTICS Minister coming to Smithers
Please join the BVEDA as we welcome the Minister of Technology, Innovation, and Citizen’s Services Andrew Wilkinson to Smithers for a wine and cheese reception at the official launch of the Venture Acceleration Program in Northwest BC.
The event will be taking place at The Old Church on Monday, September 8th, at 5 pm.
The Venture Acceleration Program is a paid structured venture growth program designed to guide, coach and grow ambitious early‐stage technology entrepreneurs and effectively grow their technology ventures. The Venture Acceleration Program helps entrepreneurs accelerate the process of defining a proven business model based on a set methodology and set of best practices for growing technology companies.
Also meet our Entrepreneur in Residence, Carl Anderson who is an experienced entrepreneur who has started, grown, and sold companies for millions of dollars!
The goal of the program is to drive economic development and job creation in the province of BC by accelerating the use and/or commercialization of technology, resulting in the rapid growth of technology ventures. The program is also great for businesses looking to scale up their operations.
The Venture Acceleration Program is delivered by a team of Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs) and supported by a province‐wide network of mentors through the BCIC Mentor Program. Together, they make up the BC Acceleration Network, an alliance of regional partners, EiRs and executive-level mentors.
