The Arts Incubator

Winnipeg, Manitoba

The project is grounded in a dynamic process of collaborative engagement and capacity building, utilizing arts-based research methodologies to ensure the work is both relevant and empowering. A key focus is Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), which positions young people as leaders in investigating their own economic realities and co-designing their futures. Through a series of co-design workshops, digital storytelling projects, and community forums, ECO-STAR North facilitates intergenerational knowledge transfer, connecting youth with Elders and established creators. This hands-on, community-led approach ensures the resulting toolkit is not an academic exercise, but a living, practical resource built by and for Northern innovators, strengthening a resilient and interconnected creative ecosystem.

Shaping the Future: Participate in Our Climate Entrepreneurship Survey

As we launch into an exciting summer dedicated to innovation and sustainable solutions, we are thrilled to announce the release of our first Climate Entrepreneurship Survey. This initiative is a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering a thriving ecosystem for individuals and ventures tackling the urgent challenges of climate change.

Take our 2025 Climate Entrepreneurship Survey

What is the Climate Entrepreneurship Survey About?

The Climate Entrepreneurship Survey is designed to gather important insights into of climate entrepreneurship and innovation. We aim to understand:

  • Current Concerns & Local Impacts: What are the most pressing climate issues and their observed effects in various communities?
  • Entrepreneurial Landscape: Who are the individuals engaged in or interested in climate entrepreneurship, and what roles do they play?
  • Challenges & Opportunities: What are the significant barriers preventing climate ventures from scaling, and where do the most promising opportunities lie?
  • Support Needs: What specific resources, mentorship, funding, or policy changes would most effectively accelerate climate entrepreneurial success?

Your responses will provide invaluable data, helping us to identify critical trends, unmet needs, and areas ripe for intervention and support within the climate innovation sector.

A Core Component of Our Summer Program

This survey is not a standalone effort; it is deeply integrated into the objectives of our upcoming Summer Climate Entrepreneurship Program. Our program is dedicated to empowering the next generation of climate leaders and innovators by providing them with the knowledge, tools, and networks necessary to build impactful, sustainable businesses.

The data collected through this survey will directly inform and enhance future iterations of our arts incubator and climate entrepreneurship programming:

  • Tailored Curriculum: Insights into specific challenges and knowledge gaps will allow us to refine our workshops and training modules, ensuring they are highly relevant and practical.
  • Targeted Mentorship: Understanding the support needs of entrepreneurs will help us connect participants with the most appropriate mentors and industry experts.
  • Resource Development: Identifying resource gaps will guide our efforts in curating and providing access to essential tools, funding opportunities, and collaborative platforms.
  • Community Building: By understanding the diverse roles and locations of climate-concerned individuals, we can foster a more connected and resilient community of practice.

Ultimately, your participation in this survey will help us ensure that our summer program is not just theoretical, but a truly impactful accelerator for real-world climate solutions.

Who Should Participate?

We encourage anyone with an interest in climate action and entrepreneurship to take a few minutes to complete the survey. This includes:

  • Aspiring and established climate entrepreneurs
  • Youth and students passionate about sustainability
  • Artists, creators, and educators working on climate themes
  • Non-profit professionals and community leaders
  • Anyone concerned about climate change and interested in innovative solutions

Your unique perspective is vital, regardless of your current involvement level.

Your Input Matters

Every response contributes to a clearer picture of what is needed to drive climate innovation forward. By sharing your experiences and insights, you are directly contributing to the development of programs and resources that will empower others to make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change.

This beautiful, but heavily worn, Volvo P1800 sports coupe—famous for its elegant design and starring role in The Saint—now sits quietly, its original red paint fading to purple. The distinct curves and chrome details are still visible beneath the rust, suggesting a glamorous life that ended here among the trees.
