Nobellum Summit 2026
About the Event
Join us at the Globe and Mail Centre located in the heart of downtown Toronto on August 14 for the inaugural Nobellum Summit — the official launch of Nobellum's annual flagship event dedicated to showcasing Canada's top Black STEM founders. This year's Summit will also feature a $20,000 Founder Pitch & Expo, spotlighting Nobellum's 2026 Growth Founders as they present their ventures to industry leaders, investors, and partners.
This year's theme, Accessing Capital Pathways, is centered on showcasing the diverse funding opportunities available to founders. Through candid conversations and practical insights, we'll demystify the capital landscape and connect entrepreneurs with lenders, procurement opportunities, investors, corporations, government partners, and ecosystem leaders who fuel high-growth companies.
The Summit will also feature the unveiling of Canada's first STEM Facility Database, the announcement of the top 10 selected to represent Toronto nationally at Melamoon's $200k pitch, and a major government partnership announcement.
