Description
The Lazaridis ScaleUp Program is bringing 10 of Canada’s most promising tech companies to Vancouver, and they want to meet you!
Join us to eat, drink, and connect with the founders, CEOs, investors, policymakers and support organizations working to grow your local tech community.
We are delighted to announce that Karn Manhas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Terramera, will be featured at the Lazaridis ScaleUp Program Reception. Karn will speak about his experiences as a founder, and about the ways in which the ScaleUp program has supported Terramera on their growth journey.
In just the past few months, Terramera received the 2019 Life Sciences BC Award; acquired Stem Shock ™ Plant RNAi Technology; was named to the Global Cleantech 100; announced as Chair of their Science and Technology Advisory Council Adrian Percy, formerly Global Head of R&D for the Crop Science Division of Bayer. AND they launched PROOF, an innovative new plant-based consumer pest control product—the first and only product registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as 100% effective against bedbugs. (The world thanks you, Terramera.)
ABOUT THE SCALEUP PROGRAM
The Lazaridis ScaleUp Program helps Canada’s most promising growth-stage tech companies build their businesses to globally competitive size. The program addresses constraints to growth with a customized approach, heavily oriented toward execution. Our facilitators, representing some of the world’s most influential and innovative companies, bring their knowledge and experience to bear in intensive two-day workshops focusing on the challenges our cohort companies are facing as they scale. Our mentors share their expertise and their networks with the cohort companies, providing guidance and connections over the course of the year. Well before the year is finished, companies see significant changes and make measurable progress on their journey to global success.
