Most business leaders understand that AI matters to their business. What’s harder is knowing how to lead your organization through it. The Growth Development Program (GDP) is a six-month program built for exactly that challenge — giving you the structure, support, and peer group to move from uncertainty to confident, decisive leadership.
This cohort is for Ontario SMB executives who have started the AI conversation — and are now facing the harder question of how to actually move it forward. If you’re ready to stop reacting and start leading with intention, this is where that starts.
We are now accepting applications for our next cohort launching June 11, 2026. Space is limited to 15 leaders.

After you submit your application, a program manager will reach out personally to guide you through the next steps.
A series of upcoming Growth Development cohorts, designed for small- and mid-sized businesses in Southern Ontario, will guide C-suite executives through exploring, testing, and implementing AI use cases that drive smarter decision-making and sustainable growth. These cohorts are offered through the AI Business Catalyst (AIBC) and are supported by the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario)
