Every great business begins with a bold idea, the courage to take the first step, and the vision to create something new. The Breakout New Business Award recognizes a business that has been operating for less than three years and has demonstrated exceptional growth, innovation, and a strong foundation for long-term success.

"Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and nowhere is that more evident than in the creativity and determination of new entrepreneurs. The Breakout New Business Award highlights and celebrates the innovators and risk-takers, whose creative ideas, hard work and incredible perseverance help shape our daily life. As small businesses take on real challenges and create tangible impact, it’s more important than ever to celebrate and support those who are breaking barriers and paving new paths for growth and innovation in the Northwest Territories.” - Caitlin Cleveland, Minister of GNWT Industry, Tourism and Investment
