If you’re interested in this kind of thing, it’s likely AssentWorks will be near the top of your list. The impressive start up in Winnipeg’s Exchange District (in an unassuming 100-year-old building across from Canadian Footwear on Adelaide Street) has been helping grow Manitoba innovation and business since October 2011.
