The BizExchange is a newly launched initiative through the Business and Entrepreneur Centre in Nisku Business Park. The program is dedicated to bringing business owners together to act as one another’s unofficial 'board of advisors', with the goal of supporting each other, navigating common problems, and sharing ideas and strategies to help each other succeed.

We will be hosting all meetings at the Business and Entrepreneur Centre (606 18 Ave., Nisku).

The program is your chance to join an in-person small business problem-solving initiative and make the most of opportunities. 

Meetings are held once a month and last for about two hours. Each individual cohort decides collectively on a meeting day and time.

Why should you join?

The BizExchange offers participants the chance to develop their business skills and learn from the experiences of peers through:

  • Accessing the knowledge of an experienced and trusted network
  • Forming new connections with the business owners in your community
  • Accessing additional business supports such as guest speakers, workshops, and more
  • Dynamic thinking and growth through interaction with different business owners

Upcoming cohort

  • Email Economic Development team to apply to join the next cohort.  

  • Any industry, business owner or manager is welcome to apply to join!
    • Please note space is limited; each cohort group has a maximum of 15 participants.
