Breakthru is NBIF’s premier pitch competition event. Breakthru was first launched in 2007 and has supported hundreds of entrepreneurs throughout our almost 20 years of startup competition history. Breakthru is an opportunity for up-and-coming companies and innovators to showcase their solutions, raise their profile, and secure early funding on their path to launching a tech startup.

Breakthru: Accelerating Cleantech is part of NBIF’s Climate Impact Fund, a partnership between NBIF and OpportunitiesNB. The fund was established to accelerate innovation and commercialization of cleantech and emissions reduction technology in New Brunswick. This strategic initiative contributes to the province’s economic growth and competitiveness by supporting New Brunswick’s startups and small and medium-sized enterprises through the transition to a low-carbon economy.
