8 Production AI Systems for Atlantic Canada's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Client: Centre for Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CEED)Timeline: 6 weeks per MVPStatus: All systems liveLocation: Halifax, Nova Scotia

LocalConnect

  • Knows the regional business support landscape
  • Matches entrepreneurs to relevant programs based on stage, industry, needs
  • Provides clear next steps and contact information
  • Escalates complex cases to human advisors
