Supporting Software Development in Southern Alberta

The Business First Technology Incubator has been established specifically to nurture and grow entrepreneurial software development companies. The unique environment provides guidance and support during the early stage growth phase, before companies graduate into the local business community in Medicine Hat and South Eastern Alberta.

This project is the result of a partnership between the provincial government and public and private sector employers. Auto~Star has committed to provide Business First Technology Incubator clients with administrative, marketing and technical expertise during their first six months of involvement in the project. The incubator facilities are located within Auto-Star Compusystems’ place of business in Medicine Hat Alberta. Community Futures Entre-Corp Business Development Ltd. provides counselling, training and financing for entrepreneurs in our community, and will extend these services to Business First clients as well. As the Business First Technology Incubator client businesses grow, we are hoping to be able to integrate work experience opportunities to students at Medicine Hat College in the fields of Computer Science and Business Administration. Alberta Innovation and Science have provided funding assistance for the project.
