When Investment Rhymes with Canada
Canada has a proud history of achievement in the areas of science and technology, and the field of biomanufacturing and life sciences is no exception.
Six finalists will be selected for each track and will have the opportunity to present to an audience of investors. The investor judges in each track will hear each pitch and ask questions of each presenter before selecting a winner.
There is no fee to apply. Startups that have been a finalist and pitched at any INVEST event in the past 12 months are not eligible to apply. Startups should apply to only one track. Startups must be registered for the conference in order to participate in the pitch contest. The startup rate is $695 and a code will be sent to those selected to pitch.
Investment professionals will review applications and selections will be announced starting March 31, 2024.
