What we’re about
NovaForge is a community for founders, builders, and AI-curious professionals who want to turn bold ideas into real, lasting businesses.
This group exists to bring people together in real life — to share what’s working, what’s challenging, and how AI is actually being applied across products, companies, and creative work.
We are a non-profit incubator and accelerator based in a 50,000-sq-ft Canadian Innovation Hub & co-working centre. Our focus is on meaningful connection, practical learning, and long-term support for people building with AI.
What you’ll find here
• Founder-focused conversations
• Events, talks, and meetups around AI, startups, and product building
• Access to experienced mentors, operators, and industry voices
• A welcoming, inclusive environment for learning and collaboration

Building Smarter in the New Year
A practical, future-focused evening on how to work with AI to grow professionally, build stronger products, and move your ideas forward in 2026.
Event registration: Eventbrite
Rather than announcements or polished demos, we will explore what’s underneath: the signals people are reacting to, the constraints shaping their decisions, and the stories that rarely make it into public narratives.
It’s a space for founders, artists, operators, and technologists to speak candidly about what’s actually shifting in their work, and why it matters now.
What to expect:
- Insightful talks on Creative Strategy and Product Systems
- Stories with founders and makers
- Short demos: Local AI rapid product spotlights
- Networking with builders, creatives, and innovators
Event Perks:
- Complimentary professional headshots provided to attendees by Monochroam
- Draw from NovaForge for ‘free innovation perks’
