Big money for Accelerate

Accelerate Okanagan has received a major funding boost to train its leaders.

The Western Economic Diversification Canada invested more than $5.6 million in five organizations across B.C., and Kelowna’s tech organization is going to share nearly $2.9 million of that pie with the Victoria Innovation, Advanced Technology and Entrepreneurship Council.

The money will support enhanced management and leadership training of company executives.

“If we want to continue to build on our success as a tech community and reach our full potential, it is critical that we coach the leaders, and that means supporting their development,” Accelerate Okanagan acting CEO Brea Lake said in a press release.

“We firmly believe that leadership coaching is essential in building future success for OKGNtech, and we’ve built that into our five-year strategic priorities.”
