Seven Generations Education Institute has partnered with the Northwestern Ontario Innovation Centre to launch a business accelerator for food entrepreneurs. The accelerator, named FEAST (Food Enterprises Advancement and SME Transformation), is a nine-to-twelve-month program for entrepreneurs in the Kenora and Rainy River regions. Each participant will have access to SGEI’s Kenora Campus commercial kitchen, mentorship and networking opportunities, guidance on food safety and regulatory compliance, and funding for eligible expenses. “Our goal is to empower local entrepreneurs as they venture into the food manufacturing sector, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed,” stated SGEI Kenora Campus Director Brian Kozak.
