The Power of Community: By Us For Us
This event highlights the community driven approach used in building the Black Innovation & Talent ecosystems within Canada. By unpacking the key challenges which have affected us in these spaces, it will showcase solutions that have been #BuiltByUsForUs through collaboration. It will also demonstrate the importance of allyship, through successful partnerships with the public and private sectors.
Attendees can expect to engage through interactive panels, and give us feedback on how to serve them better. They will also connect with Canada's vibrant ecosystem of Black founders, investors and operators in the innovation zone. Expect to leave with access to the resources, funding and job opportunities tailored to your needs. And a roadmap of the exciting initiatives we have planned for you in 2024!
