About Us
Catalyste+ is a Canadian economic development organization. We provide mentorship and advisory services to strengthen local skills and organizational capacities in emerging countries and Indigenous communities around the world.

Stronger economies for better lives. That’s the vision. As economic development leaders, we work with businesses, governments, and community organizations to support locally-driven, inclusive growth for sustainable and inclusive economic development.
Our Work
We connect Catalyste+ Advisors with partners and clients in more than 30 countries, as well as Indigenous communities in Canada.
