The University of Alberta is delighted to host an exclusive, invitation-only dinner connecting startups and investors during Edmonton Startup Week.
This year's dinner will feature eight emerging startups from a variety of sectors in a dynamic "speed dating" style format. Designed to spark meaningful conversations and valuable connections, the evening offers a unique opportunity for investors and ecosystem leaders to engage directly with innovative founders shaping the future across industries.
The evening will begin promptly with opening remarks, followed by a roundtable dinner with rotating startup introductions at each table. Each startup will have a chance to pitch their company and engage in focused discussions with invited investors and partners.
If you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please email smoore1@ualberta.ca so we can accommodate you.
We look forward to an engaging evening of conversation, connection, and collaboration.
More information on the eight startups participating will be shared with you closer to the event.
