Today, alongside our friends at Mitacs we can officially share the details of our most recent partnership to advance innovation in New Brunswick. We have contributed $160,000 to the Mitacs Accelerate Program. This will create 40 internships, earmarked explicitly for NBIF portfolio companies or those who have received an NBIF Innovation Voucher. This investment unlocks an additional $700,000 in funding for internships for post-secondary research in New Brunswick while advancing local needs! Check out the full details on this funding opportunity here: https://nbif.ca/nbif-and-mitacs-partnership-accelerates-in/
