Partial Press Release:
Innovacorp Announces I-3 Technology Start-Up Competition Winners
Innovacorp today announced the first and second place award winners in the provincial I-3 Technology Start-Up Competition, an innovative competition to identify and support high potential Nova Scotia knowledge-based businesses.
“The start-up businesses chosen as first and second place award winners are excellent examples of the types of high potential Nova Scotia companies that have the opportunity to compete globally,” said Dan MacDonald, president and CEO of Innovacorp.“The I-3 finalists are all targeting high growth industry sectors, including clean technology, life sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing.”
The first and second place award winners in each zone are:
Zone 1 (Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou, Antigonish and Guysborough counties)
1st Place – LST Energy – Jim Trussler, Gus Swanson and Philip Landry – Pictou
2nd Place – X-Flux Environmental Technologies – David Risk – Antigonish
Zone 2 (Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne and Yarmouth counties)
1st Place – Xona Games – Matthew and Jason Doucette – Yarmouth
2nd Place – Ocean Leader Fisheries Ltd. – Milton LeBlanc and Bruce LeBlanc – Lower Wedgeport
Zone 3 (Digby, Annapolis, Kings and Hants counties)
1st Place – Clare Machine Works Ltd. – Vince Stuart – Meteghan Centre
2nd Place – Fireworks FX Inc./Solar Flare Inc. – Fred Wade – Grand Pre
Zone 4 (Halifax Regional Municipality)
1st Place – Tether – Tim Burke and Stephen Hankinson – Halifax
2nd Place – Carbon Sense Solutions Inc. – Robert Niven – Halifax
Zone 5 (Victoria, Cape Breton, Inverness and Richmond counties)
1st Place – Health Tech Outcomes – Corrine McIsaac – New Waterford
2nd Place – Billdidit Inc. – Joe Menchefski – Sydney, and Bill Coady – Port Hawkesbury
The first and second place zone winners each receive $100,000 and $40,000 respectively in a combination of cash and in-kind business building services from professional services firms located in their zones to be used for the further development of their start-up ventures. The first place winners will move on to the provincial round happening February 9, to compete for a $100,000 seed investment from Innovacorp.
The winners in each zone were selected through three rounds of competition by a panel of private sector judges. In the third round of judging, the finalists presented oral pitches of their start-up businesses to the judges. Finalists were evaluated based on business plan credibility, management experience, high barrier to competitive entry, large addressable market, and the probability of obtaining a fully funded business plan. Ultimately, the winners were determined by the judges to have the highest probability of entering the market in a competitively sustainable fashion and having the most commercialization potential.
Innovacorp ran a pilot I-3 competition in Cape Breton in 2006 and its first provincial competition in 2007-2008, and is currently concluding its second provincial competition. In less than four years, the competition has received a remarkable 270 start-up company submissions, reflecting the increasingly high level of entrepreneurship happening across Nova Scotia.

Decimation X the #1 recommended Xbox LIVE Indie Game,
on the こけのつて (Japanese) blog.
Decimation X is also the #1 best selling and #1 top rated Xbox LIVE Indie Game. Very cool to top the charts!
2010-Jan-25 Correction:
It turns out we are not the most recommended game by this blog, we are just the top rated game by all of Japan. So this list is just our #1 top rating spot in Japan. Thanks to "a47" for point this out!
In Japanese marketplace, 'top rated' is translated in 'みんなのおすすめ'.
'みんなの' means 'everyone's', and 'おすすめ' means 'recommendation'.
