Canada-Africa Innovation Festival

This May, something big is coming to Toronto.

If you’re an innovator, startup founder, changemaker, investor, or simply passionate about the ecosystem, this is for you. We’re proud to announce the Canada-Africa Innovation Festival. 🌍

This two-day experience builds on the momentum of the Canada-Africa Strategy and last year’s Africa Day. Our focus this year is clear: strengthen cross-border innovation and collaboration, expand opportunities for African innovators, and create smoother pathways for collaboration, technology export, ecosystem support, and digital skills development that drive youth empowerment and economic growth.

A pitch competition celebrating Black innovation

High-value networking opportunities and more

If you care about innovation, impact, and building across borders, this is where you need to be.
