Collaborators and Network A National Initiative with Regional Impact Labs4 is delivered by a coast-to-coast network of colleges, polytechnics, and universities that combine their strengths to support researcher-entrepreneurs. Our 11 Hubs – eight Regional and three Indigenous Entrepreneurship Hubs – tailor nationally standardized programming to the needs of local sectors, communities, and innovation ecosystems. This collaborative approach ensures consistency, equity, and responsiveness, so participants get the same high-quality support no matter where they are in Canada.

Indigenous Entrepreneurship Hubs offer culturally grounded supports led by Indigenous organizations and incubators. Spokes include post-secondary partners, applied research centres, and innovation collaborators that co-deliver programming and host participants. National coordination is led by RRC Polytech, which ensures alignment, resource sharing, evaluation, and continuous improvement. This structure enables Labs4 to scale outcomes quickly while staying grounded in place, culture, and community. Why this matters Our collaborative model is more than a structure. It’s a strategy for impact. By combining local delivery with national alignment, Labs4 ensures researcher-entrepreneurs across Canada get access to: Best-in-class training and mentorship Infrastructure for prototyping and validation Opportunities rooted in place, culture, and equity A national ecosystem for follow-on support, funding, and scaling Together, we’re building a commercialization pipeline that keeps Canadian innovations in Canadian hands, benefiting communities, industries, and the economy.
