Business leaders, innovators, startups and entrepreneurs across the East Kootenay are invited to join a new initiative that connects locally developed products and technologies with larger markets.
Cranbrook Economic Development is partnering with ConvergX® Xpand™ to bring a new commercialization and innovation platform to the East Kootenay.
The initiative will connect businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers, industry leaders, investors and government partners with opportunities to accelerate growth and move proven technologies into real-world markets.
ConvergX® Xpand™ is focused on helping market-ready solutions scale through strategic partnerships, procurement opportunities, investment attraction and cross-sector collaboration.
Building on Cranbrook’s strengths
Cranbrook has long served as a regional centre for industry, transportation, manufacturing, technology, natural resources and entrepreneurship. This program builds on that foundation by creating pathways for businesses to access larger commercialization ecosystems across Canada and beyond.
Turning ideas into market opportunities
Whether you are developing new technology, creating innovative products, improving industrial processes or looking to expand into new sectors, the initiative is designed to help turn ideas into action and connections into commercial outcomes.
Some of the best innovations are happening in smaller communities, and this program is designed to ensure those ideas have access to the networks, decision-makers, and capital needed to succeed.
If you have a market-ready technology, innovative business solution, or commercialization opportunity and are looking to scale, collaborate, or access new markets, now is the time to get involved.
