Innovation Saskatchewan is proud to announce a new partnership with Opus, the University of Saskatchewan's (USask) startup incubator, which includes a $210,000 investment over three years to support the organization's pre-accelerator programming.
The funding will support Opus programming streams that target different timelines in the entrepreneurship lifecycle to drive startup development.
Opus pre-accelerator programming focuses on commercializing deep tech innovations that are research-based, equipping founders with the necessary skills for startup development and facilitating their progression to other accelerators and incubators like Co.Labs and Cultivator.
"Opus plays an important role in Saskatchewan's innovation ecosystem and helps to add capacity for research-backed entrepreneurs and startup founders in academia," Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. "This partnership boosts the province's innovation network and further strengthens Saskatchewan's economy through the development of innovative new ideas that become successful businesses."
In its pilot year, Opus supported over 12 startups engaging with over 88 stakeholders ranging from community and business leaders, entrepreneurs and ecosystem service providers.
"The world needs innovation mobilized into action," Innovation, Mobilization and Partnerships Director Alix Hayden said. "To do this, universities need to spread our knowledge and strike the right partnerships within our community and within industry to create transformational change. Through the support of Innovation Saskatchewan, Opus will continue to be able to provide support for our innovators.
