[Innovate Eastman] has been instrumental in helping us find the right networks to make this business idea into a reality. First with connecting us with the LGD of Pinawa councillors who have all been incredibly supportive of our project, and second with connecting us to Community Futures who have been quite receptive in helping us with the appropriate funding to make this business into a success.

Over the last few years, [Innovate Eastman] led by Shane Li has been assisting Aquatic Life with our new Aquahive development.  The assistance of [Innovate Eastman] has been key in setting up the go forward plan for the Development.

Without the help of [Innovate Eastman] and Shane, Joyall would not have had any of resources necessary to get the business off the ground. I can’t stress enough how valuable the service [Innovate Eastman] and Shane have provided to me in regard to networking and getting the right introduction to resources, and provision of insightful business suggestions. I strongly recommend anyone who would like to launch the business to join [Innovate Eastman].

Jason Wang, FounderTyreXpress

I have been in business for over 30 years. My company was global, primarily in the service sector. In 2019 I closed my company and retired ( well not fully! ). The knowledge and programs that are available to them has so much value. The fees are minimal in comparison to what you have access to. It would take months and or years to access this much information and professional programs all under one company. Simply Amazing!!!Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to working with you and your people at [Innovate Eastman].

My experience working with [Innovate Eastman] has been wholly positive, the support and expertise available are invaluable and the services have assisted me with moving my business from a small part time operation to a professional online retailer that designs and manufactures handmade fine jewellery and functional art objects.
