Announcement
mign Inc. has been selected for the PropTech & Mobility Program (Toronto Housing/Construction Tech & Mobility Course) of J-StarX, the overseas startup dispatch program run by JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization).
The course is run by DMZ, a long-established accelerator in Toronto, Canada, affiliated with Toronto Metropolitan University. To date, DMZ has supported more than 2,450 companies across 15-plus countries and helped them raise roughly $300 million in funding. Through connections with leading players and investors in Canada's housing and construction sector, including the government housing agency CMHC and GroundBreak Ventures, the program aims to help participants launch pilot projects, secure funding and win customers in North America.
This year's cohort also includes a number of closely watched startups, among them autonomous-driving software developer TIER IV and Onestruction.
Through the program, mign will accelerate the North American rollout of its Vertical Agentic AI offerings, starting with its AI agent for building review. From late November, the team will be based in Toronto, networking with key local players, taking part in the Building Show (one of Canada's largest construction trade shows) and working to set up pilot projects.
