Nominate someone for the mesh innovation showcase

Get ready to celebrate the amazing work being done in Canada’s innovation space!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new program that recognizes individuals from startups and scaleups, sole practitioners, and those working within large organizations, not-for-profit or government. This program is open to members of underrepresented communities including; women (female-identifying), Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis), persons with disabilities, members of visible minority/racialized groups, members of LGBTQQIP2SAA communities and Immigrants/newly landed residents, as defined in the Tri-Agency Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan. As always, we strive to give everyone an opportunity to expand connections, share ideas and be inspired — this is our chance to give back with those partners that have generously supported mesh.

Whether you’re innovating in Business, Society, Media and Technology, or Marketing, we want to hear from you! We’re on the hunt for people who think outside the box, break and fix, solve problems, and create real, impactful innovation that solves real-world problems. If that sounds like you or someone that you know, this is your chance to shine the spotlight and share the story with the world! Don’t wait any longer, apply now.

Once the application process has closed on May 31, nominees will be hand-picked, recommended and qualified by mesh. Then, vetted and invited  scholars can participate in the program free of charge.

Nominees will have the opportunity to meet with the partners involved in this program – who will be on hand to offer advice, support and their services.
