Only a few opportunities remain. Applications are closing soon. This September, Canada Startup Association is taking a Canadian delegation to Try Everything 2026 in Seoul, connecting Canadian startups with one of Asia's most powerful innovation ecosystems. Why Seoul? Because South Korea is a $133 billion startup ecosystem, attracted $10.1 billion in startup investment in 2025, is home to 14 active unicorns, ranks #8 globally, and at CES 2026, Korean startups captured 27 Innovation Awards, nearly 60% of all awards presented. Hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government (서울특별시) and SBA Seoul Business Agency, Try Everything 2026 offers founders the opportunity to: 👉 1:1 business meetings with investors and corporate partners 👉 Tailored business matchmaking for fundraising and strategic partnerships 👉 A 3-minute pitch opportunity to showcase your innovation 👉 Private networking with global startup and ecosystem leaders As part of the CSA delegation, you'll also benefit from our guidance and support, helping you make the most of every meeting and every opportunity throughout the event. If expanding into international markets is part of your growth strategy, this is your chance to connect with one of Asia's most dynamic innovation ecosystems.

The Canadian startup ecosystem grows when founders have access to opportunities beyond their own borders. That's why we continue creating opportunities that connect founders with investors, policymakers, trade delegations, and ecosystem leaders from around the world. Over the years, CSA has helped mentor more than 1,000 startups, brought together 200+ founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders, supported startups in generating over CAD $5 million in revenue and funding, helped Canadian companies access 10+ international markets, 5+ Global delegations, and created global showcase opportunities, including 22 startups exhibiting at Expand North Star. AGAZ Summit 2026 is the next step in that journey. This year's theme, Capital Beyond Borders, reflects our commitment to expanding access to global markets, investment, trade opportunities, and international collaboration for Canadian startups. Join us on September 21, 2026, as founders, investors, policymakers, and international delegations come together to strengthen Canada's innovation ecosystem and build new global economic pathways.

🇨🇦 The hardest cheque to raise in Canada is the First one. Recent 2026 data shows that Canadian seed rounds run 37% to 40% smaller than their US peers, and this funding gap has cost our ecosystem an estimated $143B in lost value. When capital moves too slow, our best homegrown talent is forced to look south. But we are here to change the narrative. The fix starts at the very beginning. This September in Toronto, we are stepping up to bridge this gap with a powerful two-part launch: The Innovation Investment Summit: An Invite ONLY event happening on 18th September. Capturing global private capital to back our high-potential startups. The AGAZ Summit (The Beginning): 21st September, A dedicated stage completely focused on securing that critical, elusive pre-seed first cheque right here on Canadian soil. We promise to do more than just host an event, we are here to drive real capital, create measurable impact, and keep Canadian Innovation thriving at home. Join Us in Making Change!! We can’t rewrite the rules alone. Whether you are a #Founder ready to scale, an #Investor ready to back the next big idea, or a ecosystem leader who believes in our future, we want you in the room. Comment below or DM me directly to get involved. Let’s back the future of Canadian tech, together.
