OCRI Global Marketing and The Ottawa Network in partnership with Ottawa’s technology clusters present their 4th annual funding focused event.  VC and Angel financing are almost dead but government investment and financing programs can fill the gap.  There are strategies to help you maneuver through the process of accessing this type of funding.   Join our panel of actual companies that have used most of these programs and find out which ones are really worth your time and effort. Everyone is welcome.
