VITAL RESOURCES
The path to entrepreneurial success as an immigrant is filled with challenges and opportunities. Embarking on a transformative journey of entrepreneurship with the support of a community that understands your unique perspective, challenges, and aspirations is of utmost importance. At Immigrant Idea and Innovation Center, we believe that immigrant entrepreneurs possess unparalleled resilience, creativity, and drive – qualities that lie at the core of every successful venture. Our center is not just a resource hub; it’s a catalyst for unlocking the full potential of immigrant-led innovation.
Our Perspective:
As fellow immigrants and entrepreneurs, we intimately understand the
challenges and opportunities that come with building businesses in new environments. We’ve navigated the intricate landscapes of entrepreneurship, drawing strength from our diverse backgrounds and shared experiences. Our center serves as a beacon of hope and guidance for immigrant entrepreneurs seeking to turn their ideas into thriving enterprises.
The question
Why was the immigrant idea and innovation center established?
Research from July 2022 by the National Foundation for American Policy reveals that immigrants have initiated over half of America’s billion-dollar startups. Specifically, 55% of these companies (319 out of 582) were founded by immigrants. Additionally, 64% of U.S. billion-dollar firms, known as unicorns, were founded by immigrants or their descendants, and nearly 80% of these unicorn companies have immigrant leadership, including CEOs or vice presidents of engineering. Given these statistics, Canada should also harness its immigrant talent to drive similar economic growth.
Triple IC was established to fulfill this need by providing a dedicated platform for immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada. Recognizing the significant contributions immigrants make to the economy, Triple IC aims to support their innovative ideas and foster their involvement in the Canadian startup ecosystem. This initiative seeks to nurture immigrant-driven innovation, catalyze economic advancement, and create a vibrant entrepreneurial landscape, ensuring that Canada’s diverse immigrant population is fully utilized for national growth.
