ISM Arts & Culture
We have a passion for harnessing arts, design and business to support game-changing initiatives that pursue knowledge production, meaning, innovation and impact. From early stage start-ups to mature organizations innovating internally, we specialize in end-to-end product and organizational development with a unique methodology of UX Research, Business Development, Design Thinking & Production, and Ecosystem Building. As an incubator, we are one of Canada’s designated organizations to support companies for the Start-up Visa. We have recently launched Racial Equity Accelerator, a grant-based accelerator program applying advanced technology (AI, data science, coding) to fast-track the work of organizations who are working on equity, diversity and inclusion. An initial cohort will develop a suite of corporate API's that can be implemented within companies to optimize their EDI internally and as their EDI work extends to society.
