Toronto’s tech scene was buzzing with energy at our headquarters last night. 🚀

At NEXT Canada we are thrilled to be powering events like these. The Toronto AI Engineering Meetup hosted by OpenSesame and Comma Capital was an incredible opportunity to dive deep into the latest advancements in AI and network with members of industry. 

OpenSesame is a part of the 2024 NEXT 36 cohort and we are very proud of the work they are doing.

Harvard Business School Club Comes To NEXT Canada 🌟

What an extraordinary moment for NEXT Canada at the recent HBS Club of Toronto event, where we had the honor of hosting a fireside conversation between Paul Desmarais and NEXT Canada Founding Chairman & HBS professor Reza Satchu. This event marked an unprecedented gathering of esteemed HBS & NEXT alumni, members of our cohort and valued ecosystem partners.

The discussion was insightful, and fully engaged the capacity crowd. Paul and Reza shared highlights of their entrepreneurial journeys and then welcomed four ventures from the 2024 cohort to pitch their ideas.

The energy in the room was electric, fostering meaningful connections and sparking new ideas that will undoubtedly shape the future of business. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the HBS Club of Toronto and all participants for making this event a resounding success.

Here's to the power of collaboration and knowledge-sharing—today, tomorrow, and beyond. We look forward to continuing to connect with the entrepreneurial community.
