About
"To help rural communities survive and thrive, by helping their businesses and people seize new opportunities."
If it wasn’t clear before 2020 that the world was changing beyond the traditional models that most rural communities and entrepreneurs hold, then 2020 should make it obvious. Something has to change.
We started Dockyard to help communities who realize this truth and want to find a way to preserve the amazing benefits that come with living in a small town, while knowing that they must evolve their economies and perspectives to match 2020’s reality.
OUR MISSION
To foster and nurture entrepreneurial and innovative cultures in rural communities so that they survive and thrive.
OUR METHOD
Running accelerators, workshops and working closely with rural businesses & municipalities to modernize and evolve so they can grow today, and into the future.
OUR CULTURE
Nimble, innovative, confident but always ready to learn.
