About this Event

Find out what's possible when big ideas meet the right support. On November 26th, The Adaptavist Group will celebrate the first year of Adapting for Tomorrow, our inaugural incubator for AI startups.

In November 2024, we kicked off Adapting for Tomorrow with a pitching day, following which two awesome startups were selected: DeafAI and FastDoc. This graduation ceremony will be an afternoon of celebration, insight, and connection – recognizing the incredible AI innovation and ecosystem here in Canada.

We will hear from both the founders all about their experience on the program. There will also be an exclusive address from one of the program advisors, Patrick Tammer, Strategy & Ops Lead for AI & Infrastructure at Google, on the future of AI innovation for startups.

The afternoon will bring together innovators and tech enthusiasts, from aspiring and established founders, to investors, product builders, and industry leaders.

Interested in applying for the next cohort? Come along on the 26th and find out more about how to apply!
