Econext

The first two sessions of the 2026 Project Zero econext Incubator, presented by Newco Metal & Auto Recycling Ltd are officially underway!

We kicked things off with an introductory session led by Audrey Parnell, which provided participants with an overview of the incubator program, what to expect throughout the journey, and the opportunities ahead for their ventures.

Our second session, held on May 29, focused on laying the foundation for business success. Yiyin Liu of ReLab Arts, the 2025 Pitch Competition winner, along with Dipesh Maharjan of Mitacs shared insights during the session.

It has been exciting to see the cohort already building connections, sharing ideas, and making meaningful progress in the early stages of the program. We’re looking forward to continuing to support these ventures as they grow and develop over the coming months.

We’re proud to announce the ventures selected for the 2026 cohort of Project Zero, the econext incubator program presented by Newco Metal & Auto Recycling Ltd.
