Canada announces $900,000 investment in Agtech Accelerator

Established by Economic Development Regina (EDR) and Cultivator powered by Conexus and Emmertech, Canada's first venture-backed agtech accelerator supports early-stage agtech companies to scale-up and grow by providing access to resources, programming and capital investment.

The long-term goal is to solidify Regina and Saskatchewan as a global agtech hub that is focused on the agri-food value chain.

"For many start-ups, access to capital and business support services are significant hurdles to success. The Government of Canada is supporting Canadian entrepreneurs and ensuring they have access to the resources and investment they need to take their innovative ideas to market. We have everything we need right here in Canada to thrive in global tech innovation," says Daniel Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada and Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency.
