CANADIAN AME/CME 2015
new revenue over the past three years. The goal is to reach $1 billion in new revenue over the next 10 years. It’s that next generation of leaders that is fuelling Ramp Up Manitoba. Ramp Up is a collision between hustlers, hackers and hipsters, otherwise known as entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and makers. They connect marketable ideas with the talent needed to launch them and resources to fuel growth. The support of organizations has played a critical role in speeding up the growth of Innovation Alley. For example, Western Economic Diversification Canada’s matching of private investments is moving Start Up Winnipeg forward faster — and Winnipeg start-ups are making an impact. On Oct. 3, Permission Click, a company that digitizes permission slips and payments collection for schools, took home the award for Canada’s Most Promising Start-up, presented by KPMG Enterprise at the NACO Summit. Permission Slip and Advolve Media, an advertising company that engages audiences through its proprietary Mirage Mirror technology, are going to Kansas in November to compete for a chance to pitch at a global competition in the Netherlands. Along The Alley, you’ll also find the Manitoba Technology Accelerator (MTA). Led by Marshall Ring, MTA supports start-up science and technology companies with funding, office space, business coaching and more. One of its success stories is Skip The Dishes, a food delivery network now working in 10 cities with Winnipeg as home base. Legary is quick to point out that Innovation Alley would not be successful without business leaders who understand that start-ups need support, low rent, mentorship and introductions. From a retail pop-up shop to new media to biotechnology, it’s a place to bring and test ideas, share concepts and build products. Learn more at www.innovationalley.com.
