"By investing in green shipping corridors, supply chain infrastructure, and clean technologies, we’re taking decisive action to reduce emissions.

The Province has created a tariff information line at 1-800-670-4357 for Nova Scotian business owners dealing with the United States, for quick access to the latest information related to tariffs. If a business person calls and needs follow up, a business navigator will contact them. Other Nova Scotians with questions that require follow up should leave their name, email address and phone number. A survey is also available at https://lnkd.in/eHK6-zPP . Business people who fill out the online survey will be able to share information about barriers to expanding into interprovincial or international markets. The Province will take that information into account as it moves forward with its tariff response.

We talk about some great initiation capital and support programs on the East Coast, and Invest Nova Scotia's Accelerate program is one of the best. Kaitlin Webb, Amanda T. and the team are excellent to work with. If you're an early stage founder, we'd encourage you to look into it.
