IGNITE Atlantic is hosting the Rural Nova Scotia Tourism Innovation Pitch Competition, which provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs living in rural Nova Scotia to showcase their innovative ideas for new tourism ventures. The competition will consist of four regional pitch sessions, where finalists will have a chance to present their ideas to a panel of judges and compete for a spot in the final round.

The winners of each regional pitch session will then move on to present their ideas at the Tourism Industry Association of Nova Scotia (TIANS) Annual Summit in hopes of securing funding and support.
