The FoodPropel program is not designed for start-ups. We encourage you to enroll in our FoodXcel program instead and reach out to our team directly to learn how we can support you during this exciting stage of your business development.

FoodPropel is not designed to support restaurateurs or caterers who are scaling up their core business. However, if you are already producing and selling a food or beverage product and are ready to scale up, Food Propel may be a great fit for you. Reach out to us today for a 1:1 free consultation.

Choosing FoodPropel means gaining access to a suite of services that will help you navigate the intricacies of PEI’s food industry and overcome roadblocks in your business. You’ll gain a partner vested in your long-term success and equipped to deliver targeted, impactful support that translates into tangible results.

All FoodPropel participants automatically become part of a vibrant community of like-minded entrepreneurs and industry leaders, creating a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

Get started by applying here today.

We welcome food product businesses to connect with us at any time of the year to get started.
