May 16-20 marks Canadian Innovation Week - a five-day celebration of ingenuity across all sectors of the nation’s innovation ecosystem.
Powered by
The Rideau Hall Foundation, the week is divided into five categories in a bid to showcase significant elements of innovation.
While Monday (#InnovateToEngage) championed community driven with a focus on inclusion, Tuesday (#InnovateToInspire) highlighted young innovators at the helm of changing the ecosystem and Wednesday (#InnovateToLearn) focused on innovation in the classroom, specifically resources for students and teachers.
Thursday (#InnovateToExcel) marks the Governor General’s Innovation Awards - Canada’s highest honour in innovation - as well as other innovations that have changed the world for the better; and the week closes with a celebration of Canada’s expanding innovation ecosystem.
Canadian Innovation Week comes alongside a series of events throughout the week, including an
Energy New Venture Competition at the
University of Calgary (led by
Platform Calgary) a
Western Canada Youth Showcase hosted by RHF, Young Entrepreneur Leadership Launchpad (YELL) and
PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs, and an Orca Whale Watch Program by BC Air Guards.
All events throughout the week can be found via the
Canadian Innovation Space website.
