What is Source Canada?

 

Source Canada (presenting sponsor OMERS Ventures) is a national summit focused on unlocking private sector procurement of Canadian technology.

We’re bringing together 150 tech CEOs and 50 enterprise buyers for a curated day of meetings, workshops, and real conversations about doing business together.

This isn’t a trade show – it’s a domestic trade mission with a goal of getting deals signed and partnerships launched. 
  • Canadian tech founders and scaleup CEOs
  • Canadian-headquartered enterprises with innovation or procurement mandates
  • VCs, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders
Only Canadian-headquartered companies can attend or sponsor. This is about building domestic capacity.

What to Expect

 

  • Corporate Dealroom - 1:1 meetings between buyers and tech companies. Curated in advance. No booths.
  • Briefing Rooms - Closed-door conversations between buyers and invited tech founders.
  • Mainstage Sessions - Practical insights from founders, procurement leaders, and dealmakers.
  • Reception - A focused networking reception to build relationships, not just swap cards.

Agenda coming soon.
