Making bold moves.
The roundtable series engaged over 6000 members of the Canadian innovation community and explored themes related to preserving our innovation ecosystem – but when it came down to it, the message was simple – it was about the importance of innovating at the speed of the crisis. Making bold moves would ensure that all entrepreneurs had access to the capital and community they needed to thrive in the face of uncertainty.
When COVID-19 changed the world in March of 2020, NACO pivoted and launched a national roundtable se- ries in response to the pandemic and its effect on en- trepreneurs across Canada. These collaborative events brought together entrepreneurs, investors, policy-mak- ers, prominent government officials, academics and innovation sector leaders to harness the power of the community and inform the development of economic policy and programs.
