What We Do

Helping Canadians succeed abroad and at home.
Our mission is to bring together the energy and experience of accomplished Canadians to work with companies, incubators, investment partners and government agencies to support the global growth of Canadian entrepreneurs in technology and life sciences.

Introductions across the New England innovation ecosystem — founders, operators, investors, and partners at the CENE Meet Ups - Open events that spark new connections and highlight Canadian-led companies and programs.

Candid, experience-based guidance from members who have built, financed, and scaled companies. Members support entrepreneurs through partner programs such as the Canadian Technology Accelerator and provincial accelerators.

Connect

Build

Work with companies, incubators, investment partners, government agencies, and others to design high-value programming for Canadian-led firms at Member Gatherings which are smaller, invitation-only moments for deeper conversation and relationship-building.

The CENE Impact

  • CENE’s events and membership have been invaluable. When I moved to the US, they helped me create a new network with senior leaders, and it's a network that continues to grow and blossom as we continue connecting through events.

    Patricia Gauthier, Moderna | Global P&L, Entrepreneurial spirit, Business Builder, TA Leadership

  • Since co-founding CENE in 2013, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful a trusted network can be in accelerating innovation. By bringing together Canadian entrepreneurs, investors, and executives in the Boston and Cambridge ecosystem, CENE creates a unique platform to support the growth of Canadian technology and life sciences companies as they scale globally.

    Chris Legg, Progress Partners | Senior Managing Director

  • Success in life sciences is driven by insight as much as investment. CENE enables Canadian entrepreneurs to tap into a network of proven leaders in biotech and healthtech—unlocking experience, perspective, and opportunities that help turn innovation into impact.
