Business Incubators & Accelerators in Saskatchewan – Directory of Startup Support Programs
Looking for startup support in Saskatchewan? This page lists business incubators and accelerators that serve entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses across the province. For each organization, we’ve included the names of the programs they offer, so you can quickly identify the right fit based on your stage, sector, or funding goals.
Whether you’re launching a tech company in Saskatoon, growing an agri-tech business in Regina, or developing a social enterprise in northern Saskatchewan, this directory connects you with the province’s most impactful innovation hubs.
✅ What Is a Business Incubator and Accelerator?
Business incubators are designed to help entrepreneurs take an idea and turn it into a viable business. They typically support early-stage founders with mentorship, business development guidance, workspace, and connections to funding or academic partners.
Business accelerators, on the other hand, focus on growth-stage companies — usually startups that already have traction and are preparing to scale. Accelerators often run structured, cohort-based programs that provide intensive mentorship, investor introductions, and sometimes direct funding in exchange for equity.
In Saskatchewan, many organizations offer hybrid services — blending incubation and acceleration to suit startups across multiple stages.
✅ What These Programs Typically Offer
Incubators and accelerators in Saskatchewan often provide:
- One-on-one mentorship from local entrepreneurs and industry experts
- Workshops and training in business planning, marketing, finance, and investment readiness
- Access to facilities like coworking spaces, labs, or maker spaces — especially within innovation hubs and post-secondary institutions
- Introductions to capital, including angel investors, venture funds, and provincial/federal grant programs
- Sector-specific support in fields such as agri-tech, cleantech, Indigenous entrepreneurship, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and digital innovation
- Ecosystem events, like demo days and pitch competitions, that connect startups with Saskatchewan’s broader innovation community
Some programs offer equity-based investment (mainly accelerators), while others are non-dilutive and supported by public or educational institutions.
✅ How to Choose a Program
With incubators and accelerators operating across Saskatchewan, selecting the right one depends on your specific goals. When reviewing the directory, consider the following:
- Stage Fit – Are you pre-revenue, MVP-ready, or generating sales?
- Location – Programs serve various communities such as Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, and northern and rural areas
- Sector Focus – Some focus on ag innovation, tech, Indigenous enterprise, or social impact ventures
- Equity vs. Non-Equity – Consider whether you’re comfortable giving up equity or prefer non-dilutive support
- Duration & Format – Programs vary from a few weeks to a full year and may be in-person, virtual, or hybrid
