The first 6 years!

CEO and Founder, Patricia Rimok launched the online Immigration Business Network in 2011 initially to improve retention outcomes of immigrant entrepreneurs and investors in Canada including their businesses and capital.

 

Now in its ninth year, the ib2ib Network, a completely private sector initiative, has grown to include sector knowledge partners, global value add entrepreneur - provider connections and simplified its service offer to improve user experience. Hence, this new revamped website.

 

Well beyond its initial set borders, the ib2ib Network has now members, followers and partners across the planet wanting to connect and bring value add services, creative products, solutions and highly sought out skills to the network. We cannot be more pleased!!

 

Why is this important? 

For immigrant/non immigrant entrepreneurs, foreign investors, providers or highly skilled, trusted, targeted and value add connectivity, sales growth, job creation, opportunities and innovation is crucial in what has become a truly, global marketplace, especially on the net. A platform that can facilitate and support each to find niche markets, new funding sources, partners, lower costs, develop new products are some of its features. We believe connectivity is key in responding to the globalization of trade, increased competition 

of global talent,  shift of economic growth in emerging countries and increased communication and mobility.

 

Connectivity? What is that?

​
