Canada is built on the spirit of entrepreneurship, with homegrown brands making their mark on industries worldwide. From innovative tech startups to handcrafted goods, Canadian-made businesses are shaping the future. But before they become household names, they start with an idea, a vision, and the right support.
On April 29, 2025, the Startup Canada Tour is coming to Calgary with this support and bringing together entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and ecosystem partners to fuel the next generation of Canadian-made businesses.
Why Calgary? A Hub for Innovation and Growth
Calgary is a powerhouse of innovation, home to businesses that range from cutting-edge AI startups to locally crafted consumer products. The Startup Canada Tour will provide founders at every stage, from launching a new venture to scaling and growing an existing one, with the expert guidance, networking opportunities, and resources they need to thrive in today’s economy.
Attendees will connect with successful founders who have built Canadian-made brands, learn strategies to navigate funding, scaling and supply chain challenges, and gain insights into expanding into new markets. A Tariff Table will also be set up to provide ongoing guidance throughout the day for entrepreneurs struggling with navigating the new tariffs.
Empowering the Next Wave of Homegrown Entrepreneurs
The Startup Canada Tour is dedicated to equipping early-stage entrepreneurs with the knowledge, connections, and support needed to grow their businesses right here in Canada. Through expert panels, interactive workshops, and mentorship sessions, attendees will gain the tools to transform their ideas into thriving companies.
One of the event’s highlights is the Startup Global Pitch Competition, where innovative entrepreneurs will showcase their businesses for a chance to win from the $70,000 cash prize pool and gain national recognition. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate Canadian-made brands in the making and be inspired by the next generation of business leaders.
