We are Edmonton’s innovation hub and convenor, supporting companies at every stage in the ecosystem to boost collaboration and impact.

Entrepreneurship can’t happen in isolation, which is why we bring together founders, investors, industry, academia, and government to create the space, conditions, and programming for the right connections to happen at the right time so innovation can thrive in Edmonton.

Here’s a snapshot of what that looked like in 2025:

  • 2,636 participants supported through programming
  • 14,752 visitors through our space
  • 339 events activated in our space
  • 682 pitches helping founders sharpen their ideas
  • 29,674 cups of coffee fueling it all

Behind these numbers is an ecosystem that continues to grow with purpose, coordination, and resilience.
