Most people see Canadian innovation as a headline. A raise. An exit. A list.
Co-hosted with the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus
Ecosystem team, more than 35 startups on one floor, with accelerators, founder programs, and investors that back them. Startups from U of T, AI ventures from the Vector Institute, and from the TechTO community, all in one room. Come to buy. Come to back. Come to join.
