Applications are now being accepted for the Food Venture Program at Georgian.
The 12-week Food Venture Program is available through the College’s Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre.
It is geared toward food and beverage innovators with a food or product idea, restaurant owners seeking to turn recipes into packaged goods, early-stage entrepreneurs with a product in small-scale distribution, and entrepreneurs with business ideas in the nutrition and health sector.
Applications are now being accepted and 25 participants across Simcoe County will be chosen to participate.
“This unique program aligns with the county’s goals and commitment to building healthy, sustainable communities and supporting our businesses,” said County of Simcoe Warden George Cornell. “As an innovative region, Simcoe County is home to a wide variety of local producers with many outstanding examples of small businesses offering sustainable products from within our area. We thank our partners for joining us in supporting this Food Venture Program, and ultimately assisting aspiring entrepreneurs in improving our food security and growing our economy.”
The program runs in partnership with The Small Business Enterprise Centre of Barrie, Orillia and Simcoe County, The South Georgian Bay Small Business Enterprise Centre, Community Futures South Georgian Bay, Nottawasaga Futures and The Orillia CDC.
