our mission

ABOUT The NEXSTREAM TECH COMPETiTION

The NexStream Tech Challenges are problem solving opportunities aimed at supporting regional entrepreneurs while strengthening and diversifying Campbell River’s economy. The challenges are designed to encourage invention in areas that address industry challenges of the British Columbia Coastal Region. This initiative aims to accelerate and broaden interest in Campbell River as a welcoming technology destination. We hope that locals and residents from across BC will take interest in developing their innovative ideas, and subsequently establish or grow their businesses in the region.

The NexStream process will include opportunities for mentorship and skill development in business strategy, sales & marketing, product development and intellectual property. Ideally, we will see participation from early but innovative companies as well as well-established businesses.

Administration and funding of the contests will be done by the Campbell River Area Angel Group (CRAAG), with support from the City of Campbell River as well as other partners and experts invited to selection panels.
