What is a reverse pitch?

In a reverse pitch, decisionmakers share a circular challenge their business is facing. The quick pitch format is fast-moving and engaging, and allows innovators in the audience, and watching virtually, to ask questions that will determine whether they have solutions to the challenges presented.

Who should attend?

Innovators with products, services or technologies that solve circular challenges are encouraged to attend. The pitching companies represent several industries, ranging from apparel to food, and are seeking innovative solutions to their challenges. The event presents a rare opportunity for innovators to learn specific challenges faced by established Canadian brands, so they can identify and propose their relevant technologies.

After the session, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with the pitching companies on their circular challenge.
