Boreal Springboard Discovery and Connections Forum - Lakehead University

Join us for the Boreal Springboard Discovery and Connections Forum!

The Innovation Centre is proud to be partnering on a new initiative: The Boreal Springboard. Through providing funding, programing, mentorship, technical supports, and connections to industry, the initiative’s accelerator program will support startup and seed stage businesses starting in March 2026 to bring innovative forest-based solutions to the region – however they add value to our forest fibres.

There is a major opportunity to our forest to leverage underutilized species, integrate with industry residual streams, and access growing markets. Come out to our Discovery and Connections Forum and learn more about funding, specific business opportunities, resources and supports. Lunch will be provided.

This event is for:

• Those interested in being part of an innovative, entrepreneurial team
• Those who have technical or business skills
• Those with new ideas in this sector, or curious to hear about specific opportunities
