Sixteen local business people have spent an endless amount of time over the last eight months helping other aspiring entrepreneurs through the SMARTstart program.

The program aims to support local businesses and kickstart those wanting to jump into industry. This year, seventeen participants were included in the program, representing businesses from home inspections to brewing.

Receiving national recognition in past years, SMARTstart connects those just starting in industry with professionals who have experience in the Airdrie market. While SMARTstart encourages the growth of local businesses, it's also a program exclusive to Airdrie. Now, it's up to participants, with the connections they've made, to strengthen and build their business.

Those with an idea or new businesses are invited to apply to the 2018 program before December 20.
