A Digital Destination for Resources and Information

Scaling ideas require resources and support. We aggregate resources in one digital destination so entrepreneurs, resource providers, and more get what they need in fewer clicks and coffees. We have over 200 resources in Grow North's Resource Navigator database and are always look for more.

Education and Connectivity Programming

Growing business that will drive change in our food system requires expertise on commercialization and scale. Our programs strive to 'democratize the accelerator' and give broader access to high quality, industry-specific education as well as drive interconnectivity across the food and agriculture sector.
