What to expect

Hey Toronto, join us for an evening of practical conversations, emerging Canadian innovation, and curated networking - happening alongside Elevate Festival.

Finnovation Day Toronto brings together founders, investors and the financial companies powering Canada’s innovation economy to explore how startups fund, manage and move money - from the first dollar in the bank to international scale.

Startups × Capital × Banking × Payments × Growth

From incorporation and banking to raising capital, building credit, managing payments and expanding internationally, financial infrastructure becomes part of every company’s ability to scale.
