A member of the BC Accelerator Network funded by Innovate BC, Central Interior Business Accelerator serves two types of entrepreneurs: those who are beginning their journey and need help with direction, and experienced entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level. We aim to inspire, nurture, and accelerate the growth of startups to enrich and develop the Kamloops business community. We also collaborate with local partners to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.
