Programs
Find the Right Support
At Manitoba Innovates, our programs are designed to make progress easier for the people doing the work, whether you are just getting started, building momentum, or scaling what already works. We offer support that’s practical, founder-informed, and always focused on removing friction, not adding it.
OUR PROGRAMS SERVE THREE CORE GROUPS: international founders looking to land and launch in Canada, Manitoba-based startups and scaleups growing their companies, and the partners, investors, and institutions who power the broader ecosystem. No matter where you fit, there’s a way to connect.
For Ecosystem Partners
We work with service providers, industry leaders, funders, and post-secondary institutions who want to build a stronger innovation ecosystem.
Manitoba Connect includes visibility opportunities, talent connections, access to events, and curated engagement with high-potential startups.
For Canadian Founders and Scaleups
ScaleReady is a free, 1:1 commercialization readiness assessment that helps founders step back, identify gaps, overcome barriers, and move toward market-ready outcomes; with clear guidance, practical support, and the connections that matter.
VentureMap Manitoba
VentureMap Manitoba is a live, interactive platform where you can explore key metrics from across our startup and scaleup ecosystem. From company growth to funding trends, it offers a real-time window into innovation in the province.
Career Catalyst
Career Catalyst is Manitoba Innovates’ recruiting support and career mentoring service. It helps talent connect to Manitoba startups and scaleups through a structured evaluation process and warm referrals.
