Winnipeg Free Press Highlights Launch of North Forge
Sep 28, 2016
Today marks an exciting milestone for Manitoba’s innovation community.
The Winnipeg Free Press has published a feature titled “Start of Something Truly Amazing”, highlighting the official launch of North Forge. The article celebrates the formation of a new organization created to support entrepreneurs, makers, and startups at every stage of growth.
We’re proud to see this recognition of a vision that brings together the strengths of three community-driven organizations.
A Purpose-Driven Merger
The story outlines how AssentWorks, Ramp Up Manitoba, and Startup Winnipeg came together to form a single, powerful innovation hub. With shared values and a common goal, we’ve created a space where founders can build, prototype, and grow real businesses right here in the heart of the Prairies.
The article points to North Forge as more than just a workspace. It is a launchpad for ideas, offering tools, mentorship, and community in one place.
Supporting Founders from Idea to Growth
As the article notes, North Forge is uniquely positioned to help startups move from concept to market. With access to advanced fabrication equipment, business support, and collaborative programming, we are removing barriers to innovation and giving Manitoba entrepreneurs the tools they need to succeed.
Our goal is to make it easier for people to bring their ideas to life, test them, and scale them into viable companies that contribute to economic growth in our province and beyond.
Thank You for the Support
We are grateful to the Winnipeg Free Press for helping us share our story about the launch of North Forge and to the early champions who believed in what North Forge could become. This coverage reflects the momentum building across Manitoba’s tech and innovation community.
We’re just getting started.
