Black Innovation Summit 2025
Join us on October 30 for DMZ's Black Innovation Summit Pitch Competition, hosted in partnership with Scotiabank.
This year’s theme, Black Means Business, celebrates the brilliance, innovation, and economic impact of Black entrepreneurs across Canada. At the heart of the summit is a high-stakes pitch competition, where 10 Black founders will take the stage to compete for over $300K in investments and grants.
This is more than a competition — it’s a showcase of groundbreaking ideas, entrepreneurial excellence, and the future of Black-led innovation.
