2026 Theme: Coming of Age

Startupfest 2026 is back this summer at the Grand Quai de Montréal, bringing together founders, investors, operators, and innovators for three days designed to accelerate ideas and build meaningful connections.

Startup Showcase

The Startup Showcase is a rare opportunity to pitch live to investors, corporates, media, and ecosystem leaders actively looking for what’s next. Only a select few are chosen for the chance to turn this opportunity into real momentum. Being selected comes with your ticket to Startupfest and includes the myriad of opportunities available to startups.
