ORIC Kelowna Innovation Centre received a cheque for $150,000 to expand the downtown Kelowna facility to 15,000 sq.ft. This extra space was needed because of the explosive growth of our tenants Vericorder Technology and Vineyard Networks. This freed up some offices so we can accept new startups to join our incubator/accelerator.

The grant came from the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust or SIDIT an organization seeded $50 million from the Provincial Government to support economic development in the Southern Interior of BC.
