About this Event

The Innovation Summit is RXN HUB’s annual flagship convening, bringing together leaders from industry, government, research, and investment to shape Canada’s innovation future. Designed to move beyond conversation and toward action, the Summit is anchored around timely, national themes that address Canada’s most pressing economic and innovation challenges.

This year’s Summit focuses on nation-building projects; the large-scale initiatives, infrastructure, and cross-sector partnerships required to strengthen competitiveness, accelerate commercialization, and drive long-term economic growth.
