STARTUP SAULT

*************************

Nevin Buconjic will be proudly representing Sault Ste. Marie in Canada’s capital next week, meeting with Members of Parliament, Senators and Ministers as part of Startup Canada Day on the Hill.

Startup Canada Day on the Hill is a collaboration of Canada’s entrepreneurial community and partnering political and government leaders.

Set to draw nearly 1,000 attendees throughout the day, including some of Canada’s top entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, media personalities and government decision makers, the program is filled with meaningful government roundtables, media interviews, fireside discussions, TED-style keynotes, entrepreneur bootcamps, on-site mentorship, and an evening ‘Startup Soiree’, showcasing entrepreneurs and their products from across Canada.

Nevin will be speaking on stage to share perspectives of entrepreneurs from the community and to the impact that Startup Sault Ste. Marie has had over the last 12 months in fuelling economic development through entrepreneurship.

Nevin will also be working with public servants and industry leaders to educate them on how they can work with grassroots, entrepreneur organizations like Startup Canada to accelerate entrepreneurial growth in Canada.

“I am looking forward to meeting many of my Startup Canada peers from across the country, to forge strong connections that I believe will benefit Startup Sault in the future and help us to bring more ideas and events to Sault Ste. Marie”, said Buconjic. “Startup Canada Day on the Hill is an opportunity for every Canadian entrepreneur to share their experiences and show our government that when we all work together to make Canada more entrepreneurial, we all win.”

In just two short years, Startup Canada has grown to become the leading entrepreneurship organization in Canada with more than 85,000 entrepreneurs, 400 partners and 300 volunteers.

This volunteer organization is helping to launch local startup communities like Startup Sault in cities and towns across Canada and connect them online to one another to build Canada’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Due to the support of CANARIE, a non-profit dedicated to advancing network operations, technology and private sector innovation, Nevin will have the opportunity to meet with and spend 2-days with counterparts from other communities.
