D2i is where Ottawa’s innovation community meets the next generation of scientific entrepreneurs. Prior to the D2i event, selected candidates receive mentorship on communicating scientific ideas effectively to a mixed audience, including investors, startup supporters, other entrepreneurs, potential co-founders, and community leaders. At the event, D2i scientists pitch their research to a dynamic audience who shares a passion for advancing science and technology. More than a networking event, D2i strengthens the community that helps transform discoveries into thriving companies.

This event is not affiliated with Invest Ottawa and is independently organized by a third party.
