Why RINET Center?

RINET CENTER is a dynamic incubator founded in 2021 in Ottawa, Canada. We are committed to fostering socio-economic integration, encouraging entrepreneurship, and promoting wealth creation within Francophone immigrant communities. We place a particular emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as fundamental pillars to strengthen these communities in the National Capital Region.

​

 

1. Our Mission: To promote entrepreneurship and socio-economic integration through mentorship programs, practical training workshops, access to an extensive network of partners, and collaborative workspaces.

2. Why Target Francophone Immigrant Communities? Francophone immigrant communities, especially those from the African Great Lakes region, face unique challenges such as language barriers, limited access to economic resources, and the need to strengthen their socio-cultural integration. RINET CENTER addresses these challenges by offering tailored programs that foster better integration and encourage active participation in the local economy.

 

As an incubator, RINET CENTER plays a crucial role in supporting entrepreneurs from Francophone immigrant communities. We offer comprehensive support, including:

​
