Black Advisory Hub (BAH) is a national program that supports Black entrepreneurs in Canada to start and grow their businesses.
The goal of the BAH program is to deliver national services over four years to support 8,500 entrepreneurs and 750 Black-led businesses, while creating 175 new businesses and an estimated 1,000 jobs. The Casa Foundation identified UBC as an academic anchor, and Innovation UBC specifically as a partner, to help them connect with, and find ways to support BIPOC entrepreneurs at UBC and the broader regional ecosystem here on the West Coast. We also want to increase black representation at Innovation UBC in the various start-up and founder programs.
UBC is pleased to partner with the Casa Foundation to launch the Black Advisory Hub (BAH) in Western Canada. The Casa Foundation has been awarded funding from the Government of Canada’s Black Entrepreneurship Program to execute and deliver the BAH, a national program across Canada to support Black entrepreneurs in Canada to start and grow their businesses. Casa initiatives include business fundamentals training, mentorship, entrepreneurial programming, networking events, webinars and workshops that provide resources and opportunities for Black entrepreneurs, and support for Black-led businesses.
