Startupfest:

Startupfest is an annual entrepreneurship event held in Montréal from July 8–10, bringing together founders, investors, technologists, and industry leaders at the forefront of innovation. Over the past 16 years, it has grown from a grassroots meetup into a global celebration of building a better future through technology and entrepreneurship.

Through world-class content, unparalleled funding opportunities, curated networking activations, hands-on workshops, and off-site events across the city, attendees engage in meaningful collaboration and cross-disciplinary exchange within a dynamic, festival-style environment.

Each year, leading voices in AI, venture capital, product design, and software engineering take the stage alongside experienced founders and established CEOs. Startupfest also features a range of high-impact investment prizes and grants, spotlighting the next generation of builders and the ideas shaping Canada’s tech ecosystem.

Packed with opportunities for anyone curious about where technology is heading, Startupfest offers a front-row seat to what’s next. We hope to see you there this summer!
