We are a city of creators, coders, connectors, and builders. Of AI pioneers, immigrant entrepreneurs, and boundary-pushing artists and athletes. Of Grammy-winning musicians, satellite-launching scientists, and fearless founders. We build what’s next. We break the mold. And we’re doing it here—for everyone, everywhere.
Welcome to Ottawa Innovation Week—a city-wide celebration of our bold, brave and brilliant. It’s a collision. Of minds. Movements. Momentum.
And you belong in it.
