“Inventures is like a master class for pathblazers,” said Laura Kilcrease the CEO Alberta Innovates, which is putting on Inventures. “We’re reaching across the globe and bringing seasoned entrepreneurs and investors together with local startups and innovators. The creative energy this generates and the doors it opens will fuel our next wave of successful ventures.”
“Inventures is like a master class for pathblazers.”
