Startup Canada Tour 2024

2024 marked the second year of the Startup Canada Tour, a national conference series dedicated to equipping early stage entrepreneurs across Canada with the tools and resources to launch and grow their businesses. Across these four cities, we connected with over 1,400 in-person attendees, 2,564 online viewers, 90 partners, and 98 exhibitors. The Tour also spotlighted 83 dynamic speakers, with 61% identifying as women, and hosted 83 expert mentors to inspire and guide attendees.
