In Atlantic Canada, the Regional Economic Growth through Innovation (REGI) program, led by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), stands as a beacon of hope for fostering economic empowerment and innovation in the region. Through its two dynamic funding streams, Business Scale-up and Productivity, and Regional Innovation Ecosystems, REGI offers tailored approaches to support businesses and entrepreneurs.
One of the standout features of REGI is its flexibility. Covering up to 75% of eligible costs and allowing businesses to stack funding with other government programs, REGI maximizes resources and amplifies impact, unlocking a wealth of opportunities for growth and development.
The Regional Innovation Ecosystems stream, in particular, plays a pivotal role in fostering a culture of innovation and inclusivity. By supporting entrepreneurship at every turn, REGI champions diversity and ensures that everyone, from women breaking barriers to Indigenous entrepreneurs reclaiming their heritage, has a chance to thrive.
Moreover, REGI's inclusive approach extends to sole proprietorships, Indigenous-owned businesses, and non-profits with a bold vision for the future. It's about building a community where everyone has a seat at the table and a chance to contribute to the region's economic prosperity.
In times of economic uncertainty and challenges, REGI serves as a steadfast ally for businesses, providing support every step of the way. Through strategic partnerships and innovative initiatives, REGI is actively shaping the future of possibilities in Atlantic Canada, driving growth, innovation, and opportunity for all.
