Accessing support to launch a new business can be confusing. What support is available? Which program is best? Can I even access support from where I live?
The accelerator landscape just got much easier to navigate with the launch of Accelerate from Anywhere.

Who’s Eligible
We’re looking for innovators with a cleantech or climate solution. Wherever you are in Canada, we’ll help you accelerate the growth of your venture.
Accelerate from Anywhere will broaden access to accelerator programs. The tech sector has not historically reflected the diversity of Canada. Those most affected by climate change are often excluded from meaningful opportunities to develop and implement solutions through entrepreneurship. And with most accelerator programs based in urban centers, aspiring innovators from rural and remote areas tend to be left out.
By expanding access to underrepresented communities, Accelerate from Anywhere will unlock diversity - and energize innovation. We are removing barriers and focusing on inclusion. Best-in-class training and support is available to folks anywhere with an Internet connection.
Cleantech innovation starts anywhere! Explore how to accelerate your cleantech venture with Accelerate from Anywhere.
Accelerate from Anywhere is made possible by the RBC Foundation and with support from The Peter Gilgan Foundation, Bullfrog Power, Western Economic Diversification Canada, and the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program.
