Transform your business thinking at the Driving Innovation Conference & Workshop

Driving Innovation is where Manitoba's small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) go to learn how to access innovation resources and leverage key insights to transform and grow their businesses. But don't take it from us, check out what our conference co-chairs, Michael Legary and Jodi Moskal are saying...

Co-Chair Mike Legary, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Seccuris and Chair of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce:
"Most of our economy is based on small- and medium enterprise and this is the focus of Driving Innovation 2015. It's all about understanding: how do you use technology to improve the business; how do you do research and development — where do you start and how do you finance it; and learning how to network with the leaders in Manitoba already working on these types of things."

Listen to more about what Legary had to say in this CJOB interview as well as on the Chamber's BOLD Radio on Jan. 17, 2015.

Co-Chair Jodi Moskal, Co-owner of Moskal Electric and former Chamber Chair:
"This conference is exactly what Manitoba needs right now. When it comes to business, our province is home to an incredible amount of talent and creativity. It is imperative that everyone - business owners, students and employees - learn how to tap into that potential and to use technology and innovation in order to remain healthy, competitive and growing."

Guided Market Validation for Early Stage Ventures

Why do startups fail? A vast majority of the time it's because they've built a product or technology that no one is willing to pay for. Fail fast by testing whether your proposed product or service will work in the market before you fully develop it. Use your interviews with potential customers to design the features that customers really want.
