The program is designed for companies that participated in TAP, with trade support for businesses entering more complex markets.
TAP has led to success stories
Through TAP, several companies like Rok Water, Knead Techonologies and Zeno Renewables began as small businesses in Alberta. Several companies have grown to international regard in business markets around the world.
One of the many success stories and an alum of the program, NatureMary, originally started their operations as a small business in Alberta. President and co-founder of NatureMary, Kapil Kalra, said TAP played a critical role in the company's growth.
'Calgary Economic Development and the Government of Alberta have been pivotal in accelerating NatureMary's growth, innovation and global reach,' Kalra said. 'Their support empowers us to thrive, create jobs, and elevate pain relief and wellness from Alberta to the world.'
TAP supports business across Alberta through province-wide delivery. Past sessions have been hosted in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Grande Prairie, Canmore, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.
Any Alberta-based company and business can attend upcoming sessions in any region.
Upcoming TAP cohorts are planned to take place in Calgary from Sept. 9 to Oct. 22, Red Deer on Oct. 15 to Nov. 20, and Edmonton on Nov. 4 to Dec. 10.
