Scale Canadian Tech Connect Mixer
Get ready to mix, mingle, and spark meaningful conversations at one of Waterloo Tech Week’s most anticipated gatherings.
The Scale Canadian Tech Connect Mixer, co-hosted by Accelerator Centre and Graphite Ventures, brings together the region’s brightest founders, innovators, investors, and tech leaders for an evening of connection, collaboration, and community.
This year’s mixer is inspired by a shared belief that Canada’s greatest opportunity lies not only in creating innovative companies, but in helping them grow, scale, and compete globally. Join the founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders who are helping make that future possible.
Whether you’re building your first startup, scaling a venture-backed company, investing in Canada’s innovation economy, or supporting the ecosystem behind the scenes, this is your opportunity to connect with the people driving innovation and growth across the region and beyond.
Come for the conversations. Leave with new connections, fresh perspectives, and a stronger network of leaders committed to building the next generation of globally competitive Canadian companies.
What to expect:
- Great Food & Drinks – Enjoy local bites and beverages
- Genuine Conversations – Connect with founders, funders, and innovation teams
- Bold Ideas & Collaborators – Meet future partners, explore shared challenges, and spark new solutions for scaling Canadian companies.
