Listen as Rob Clute, Executive Director of QuinteVation discusses ‘rural innovation’ from a tech perspective.

QuinteVation offers a program ‘RevUP’ to growth stage companies in Eastern Ontario. 

Listen as we find out how the framework for ‘RevUP’ was created in “Silicon Valley North” in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.  Accelerate Okanagan has a Quinte connection, so the programs’ local development was a natural fit for QuinteVation.

Find out how RevUP works with companies to accelerate growth, what an ‘entrepreneur in residence’ is and how it can ‘rev up’ your business.

Rob is joined by the local project manager, Cathy Ireland, and Jacques Pilon, an ‘entrepreneur in residence’. Also joining in are Kari Fraser and Darryl Denyes from ‘Clevr’, a software company located in Belleville, and the first graduate of Quinte’s RevUP program. Andrew Greer, former Bay of Quinte resident calls in from B.C. to add his insight on the impact an acceleration program has on growth in rural innovation.
