• Enhance the development and reach of business accelerators and incubators, and other organizations, which support entrepreneurs, start-ups and companies with high-growth potential.
• Support projects led by innovation-oriented organizations to increase and promote business productivity and global competitiveness, and investment and talent attraction. Enhance the capacity of ecosystems to support underrepresented groups, including women, Indigenous peoples, and young entrepreneurs.
