Innovation Week 2025: Scaling Companies, Expanding Markets, Empowering Talent
Newfoundland and Labrador’s biggest tech event of the year returns October 27–29, 2025 — and this year’s Innovation Week is all about scale, strategy, and success.
Hosted across the St. John’s Convention Centre and the Co. Innovation Centre, Innovation Week 2025 will bring together founders, executives, investors, and tech talent from across Atlantic Canada and beyond to tackle the real challenges of scaling companies, diversifying markets, and building world-class teams.
The agenda features global leaders and homegrown success stories — from Michele Romanow (Clearco Co-Founder, Dragons’ Den) on scaling culture and innovation, to Dan Shaw (Fiix, former Blackberry) on sales and sustainable growth, and Mohannad El-Barachi (Wrk.com, SweetIQ) on venture building in the AI age. Newfoundland and Labrador innovators from Kraken Robotics, Solace Power, Bluedrop ISM, Nasdaq Verafin, and Colab will also take the stage, sharing insights from companies that are driving global impact from right here at home.
Beyond the sessions, attendees can connect and celebrate the tech community at TechFest: Battle of the Tech Bands, and catch The Genesis Pitch, where founders compete for $45,000 in prizes and a place among NL’s next wave of innovators.
Whether you’re a founder, builder, or believer in Atlantic Canada’s tech ecosystem, Innovation Week 2025 is where ideas turn into action — and where the next chapter of growth begins.
