Nelson Innovation Centre (NiC) is here to connect tech and tech-enabled entrepreneurs and businesses with the support they need to thrive.

It’s your community hub. 

A place for you to connect with like-minded people.

A place to get the support you need through programming and referral services to take your businesses to a new level. 

A place to get creative.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in B.C., and the uncertainty of how the Nelson area will be affected by students returning to school, we will be temporarily closing the Nelson Innovation Centre (NiC) for the month of September. 

KAST (Kootenay Association for Science & Technology) has a responsibility to keep our members, clients and staff safe during this uncertain time and are choosing to be proactive to ensure the safety of those in our tech and business community.

KAST and Nelson Innovation Centre will remain open in the virtual realm. All of our support services, programming and events will continue to operate online, as they always have. KAST has some major program announcements coming soon, as we continue to strive to provide the utmost support to our tech and non-tech businesses in the Kootenay region. 

For those wishing to book the Nelson Innovation Centre for a special meeting, workshop or initiative, or if you have any questions related to our temporary closure, please contact us at nic@kast.com. We will make decisions on a case-by-case basis for special bookings.
