The Niagara Falls Innovation Hub is thrilled to announce that we have been granted nearly $100,000 from the province in order to support our NICHE program in partnership with The City of Niagara Falls and Niagara Region Economic Development.

NICHE (Niagara Innovation Cluster Helping Entrepreneurs) is our flagship mentorship program that brings together industry leaders and entrepreneurs.

The inaugural NICHE Healthcare event was hosted on June 19th at the University of Niagara Falls Canada and welcomed 75+ attendees as well as 10 participating healthcare startups. As the premiere event for physicians, healthcare leaders, and digital innovators, NICHE Healthcare served as a catalyst for transformative ideas and partnerships within the healthcare sector. Participating startups included Agerate, Doecere Health, Health Hub, Clinic Assist Ai, ezClinic, Healthifi, Hypercare, Jaide Products, Paradigm Healthcare Services, and Sandra’s Home Health Care.

With this grant from the Rural Economic Development Program, more businesses will be provided with more specialised programming, coaching, and events like NICHE Healthcare that foster innovation.

The next NICHE Innovation Series event will be focused on the manufacturing sector and will be held later this Fall. For more information or to sign up for updates about the NICHE program & events, visit https://lnkd.in/d3AqKVNh.
