NBIF is excited to partner with Foresight Canada to offer access to Foresight’s CleanTech Accelerator Programs for select New Brunswick startups commercializing a solution in climate tech, CleanTech or environmental sustainability. Foresight offers programs for companies at various stages of development, including validation, launch and growth, and investor readiness. Companies selected will also have access to regular mentorship hours, 1:1 venture support and access to Foresight’s extensive network of industry leaders and entrepreneurs-in-residence.

Our Approach

This is a partnership with Foresight Canada, Canada’s leading accelerator specific for CleanTech startups. This October, NBIF will make a call for companies to enter Foresight’s winter cohorts that will start in January of 2025. An interview with Foresight personnel will facilitate companies to enter the programming stream that best fits their needs.

There is no cost for selected companies to participate in Foresight accelerator programming.

The programs will be available to New Brunswick startups (either incorporated in New Brunswick or incorporated nationally and based in New Brunswick).

Participants will be asked to report on their companies’ progress and the most important impacts of the Foresight programming in the development of their business.

A call for companies to participate will be made in October with applications being submitted via the NBIF portal. Selected companies will participate in a call with Foresight to best determine their company’s stage of development and which stream would best fit their needs.

Opens October. Applications accepted until November 30, 2024.

Programming starts Winter 2025.
