OntarioInnovation Expo

2025 Recap

Ideas in motion.

Our biggest edition yet brought the province's innovation community together for a day that's hard to top.

The room was buzzing from the moment the doors opened. Founders demoed products still warm from the workshop, students pitched alongside seasoned teams, and the marketplace stayed packed right through to the closing social.

What stood out most wasn't any single booth — it was the sheer density of connection. Introductions turned into meetings, meetings turned into follow-ups, and more than a few partnerships started on the floor.

By the numbers

  • 172 exhibitors filled the floor across all ten innovation niches.
  • More than 5,400 attendees came through the doors over the day.
  • Over 40 investors and buyers joined the matchmaking lounge.
  • Six Choice Awards were decided by a record number of attendee votes.
