We’re excited to launch Tech Thursday in Ottawa!
Tech Thursday is a weekly event series where each week we’ll be hosting a panel on tech and innovation, followed by networking with your peers in the tech space.
Ottawa’s tech scene is full of energy, but too often, the people who support that energy go unnoticed.
At our first-ever Tech Thursdays Ottawa, we’re spotlighting the ecosystem enablers – the organizations helping founders get funded, mentored, and market-ready.
They’re not just supporting startups. They’re shaping the foundation of what Ottawa’s innovation economy can become.
Join us for a candid, high-impact conversation with:
Suzanne Grant, Executive Director at Capital Angel Network
Megan Maltby, Senior Manager, Accelerator Programs & Investor Relations at Invest Ottawa
Jeff Smirle, Executive Director & Co-Founder at Capital BioVentures
Moderated by: Darryl Bandoro, Principal at VU Venture Partners
The panel conversation will take place from 5-6 pm.
Tech Thursday is a community-driven event series that brings together builders, operators, and leaders in tech to have real conversations about the industry. No sales pitches—just thoughtful dialogue, tactical insights, and the opportunity to connect with others shaping the future of tech.
Whether you’re new to Ottawa’s tech scene or deeply embedded in it, this session will offer a grounded, forward-looking view of what it means to build here right now.
