On March 22, TRIEC, through its Professional Immigrant Networks (PINs) program, organized an information and networking event, hosted by MaRS Discovery District, to support immigrants seeking to become entrepreneurs. The event, ‘Newcomer Start-ups: Building a successful business,’ featured four successful immigrant entrepreneurs sharing information on programs, services and supports to help immigrants start their business.

A range of resources and supports are available for immigrant entrepreneurs. These supports cover a wide range of topics and can help immigrants with accessing financing, learning about Canadian business culture and building local connections and networks. Visit our Immigrant Entrepreneurship page to access some of these resources.
