CNI proudly shares the inspiring story captured in this video, documenting Manitoba’s inaugural Immigrant Business Expo. It brought together newcomer entrepreneurs, support agencies, financial institutions, mentors, and community partners — all united by one goal: empowering newcomers to build and grow their own businesses.

By offering culturally responsive support, from legal and accounting advice to mentorship and networking, the Expo moved beyond being a showcase. It became a launchpad, helping immigrants navigate systemic challenges, forge real connections, and gain momentum for their ventures.

At CNI, we believe in replicating this model: amplifying voices, bridging gaps, and creating ecosystems where newcomer businesses thrive. Let’s build more opportunities — together.
