Why Greenlight Analytical Chose Halifax as Home

Dr. James Wylde, President and CEO of Greenlight Analytical and his small team are developing a portable cannabis and narcotics analyzer with a simple interface that makes it suitable for licensed producers and law enforcement.

Moving his start-up business from its first location in eastern Ontario, he has found the business community in Halifax to be very welcoming.

“We found out that the ecosystem in Atlantic Canada for a start-up company was very good, so we packed up and moved,” said James. “There seems to be a good vibe of us all being in this together, and we find that people are happy to make recommendations and build relationships.”

“I didn't even know what doors to knock on, let alone what to ask the people that were behind the doors,” said Dr. James Wylde. “Halifax Partnership was very good with not just making connections, but also facilitating those relationships.”
