Startups, new ventures and SMEs in any location or stage are welcome to pitch a plan at his event, with both virtual and in-person slots available.

Priority sectors for pitches include energy transformation & diversification, cleantech, agtech, health & life sciences, ICT and AI/ML.

New teams from across the Edmonton Metropolitan Region and those beyond that are interested in the Edmonton region market are encouraged to present.

Teams have 10 minutes to pitch virtually in the morning. A subset of the more investment-ready teams pitch in person during 20-minute slots at NABI in the afternoon.

A summary of your business plan is needed 2 weeks before the event and will be shared with our advisors to provide you with constructive feedback to improve your pitch.

Presenters are invited to pitch a plan and then take questions from a panel of about 30 financial, legal, industry, investment, marketing and business management experts who provide advice and may suggest contacts and follow-up meetings.

New ventures, start-ups and SMEs present plans in turn and are given tailored advice on how to scale their plans and reach new markets.
