Pavilion hosted a Rolodex of Toronto’s top tech innovators in panel discussions on cleantech innovation, the future of AI, sports tech, city building and more. The booth is also frequented by policymakers like Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, Victor Fedeli and city mayors from across the region – all in attendance in support of exciting announcements from companies expanding in Canada’s tech hub, the Toronto Region.
Last year, day one of the bustling conference was complete with a happy hour hosted by the Toronto Inc. Pavilion, providing a great opportunity for Toronto’s government, investors and startups to mingle and share insights about the day.
