More entrepreneurs will collaborate with researchers at Atlantic universities and colleges to turn ideas into new products and services as a result of a $9.2-million investment from the Government of Canada. These partnerships will create jobs and new business opportunities for the middle class – and those working hard to join it.
The investment will go to Springboard Atlantic, a network of 19 academic institutions that works to turn promising research into new products and services.
