The provincial government is increasing its investment in the Manitoba Technology Accelerator by $600,000 over two years, the province’s jobs and economy minister Kevin Chief has announced.

In the past year the programme supported nine companies specialising in medical devices, functional foods and nutraceuticals, and information and communications technologies.
