Econext – Building a Toolkit for Entrepreneurial Newcomers interested in the Environmental Sector.

The project will focus on building a toolkit for newcomer entrepreneurs that helps to remove some of the initial barriers of starting a business in a location that you do not know anything about. Within the toolkit, a database of subject matter experts will be established, along with a compilation of links to government and industry sources. This work will establish a quick resource for newcomer entrepreneurs so that they can quickly gain insight into clean energy or any other environmental-related opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador and best figure out where their business idea aligns and where the best resources are located to support the growth of their business. The toolkit will focus on information and data that are meant to decrease barriers to increase their business productivity and will also help in reducing upfront business development time.
