Step inside one of Calgary’s most exciting innovation spaces!

The Innovation Exchange @ Wave Tech Centre is an immersive, high-energy experience designed to bring together founders, ecosystem leaders, and innovators to exchange ideas, spark collaboration, and accelerate what’s being built across Calgary.

This is not your typical networking event.

It’s a curated experience built around intentional conversations, real-time problem solving, and meaningful connections, all within a space designed to test, validate, and scale innovation.

Hosted by the Calgary Innovation Coalition (CIC), this event reflects our role as a connector and convener of the ecosystem, creating opportunities for people and organizations to align, collaborate, and move faster together.

• Founders and entrepreneurs building in Calgary
• CIC Network members and ecosystem partners
