Petite Rivière Farms has taken FIRST PLACE at the 2026 International Network of Michelin Cities (INMC) Startup Award, earning a €5,000 prize!
Gregg Curwin, representing the Bridgewater region, was joined by two other fantastic Nova Scotia entrepreneurs:
🌟 Glyn Davies, Bioteem40
🌟Cathy Munro, Micro Garden / Bramble Hill Farm – Canada
All three travelled to Italy to pitch alongside entrepreneurs from across the INMC network, representing rural Nova Scotia at an international competition featuring 12 startups.
This opportunity began back in April, when 20 startups participated in regional pitch competitions across Bridgewater, Pictou County and Kings County. Three companies were selected to represent Nova Scotia, and we’ve been following their journey to Cuneo ever since.
