SCALE-UP CENTRE FOR SMEs
The Scale-up Centre for SMEs (SCS) is an initiative of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade that aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises in the Greater Vancouver region. Through a series of curated events and roundtables, the SCS creates opportunities for companies to discover gaps, engage with experts, provide input on issues affecting businesses, and develop solutions that address obstacles to growth.

Business Growth Series
Featuring a variety of topics and industry experts, the events in the Business Growth Series take place monthly and provide small to medium-sized enterprise with useful resources, tools, and information needed to advance their company growth and make a positive impact on their companies and communities.
