The Story

Innovacorp is a Canadian early-stage venter firm that supports Nova Scotia research universities and community colleges through their Early Stage Commercialization Fund. Their investment interests are wide and supported projects can receive up to $50,000 per investment. These monies go to technologies with medium to high technology readiness levels.

This group supports the capital gap by assisting its affiliated universities with proof of concept and early commercialization development.

Call for proposal deadline for this cycle is October 26th.
