TechIgnite Awards
Join us for a night of celebrating innovation and community!
Fifteen years ago, ventureLAB started with a simple bet: that Canada could build globally competitive technology if founders had the right backing.
Join us for the TechIgnite Awards Gala - an evening dedicated to celebrating the founders, innovators, partners and ecosystem champions shaping the future of Canadian hardtech and semiconductor innovation.
This year's gala will spotlight six awards, recognizing the founders, partners and mentors driving meaningful impact across the ecosystem. As a special addition to the evening, we will be celebrating ventureLAB's 15th Anniversary - marking fifteen years of supporting ambitious founders and building one of Canada's leading innovation communities.
Hosted inside ventureLAB's working hardtech labs, the evening will bring together 200 founders, investors, industry leaders, alumni, mentors and partners for an elevated night of recognition, connection, and celebration. Guests can expect exceptional food, engaging conversation, and award presentations beneath ventureLAB's iconic illuminated trees.
This isn't a ballroom gala. It's the lab, after hours.
Tables, individual tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and award nominations are now available.
