The Hub attended the TiE Summit to network with a diverse community of professionals and learn about this year’s topic: AI driving business growth!

TiE Summit

The TiE Entrepreneurship Summit 2023 built on a decade of #TiECon Canada’s success, and this year’s theme was “AI Revolution: Redefining Startup Success”. This event invited startups, entrepreneurs, SMEs, industry leaders, investors, and the dynamic Canadian business community to an inspiring afternoon at Carleton University’s Richcraft Hall Atrium.

Members of the Innovation Hub and others in attendance gained fresh perspectives on how AI is revolutionizing entrepreneurship and driving business growth, and learned more about how the world of AI is shaping the future with groundbreaking technologies and innovative solutions. We also witnessed many accomplished recipients receive immigrant entrepreneurship awards.

The Innovation Hub’s communications team attended the event to . We spoke with Sam Roozer, an Internal Incubator Coach at the Innovation Hub who shared his experience attending this year’s TiE Entrepreneurship Summit: “There’s immigrant entrepreneurship awards given to 4 immigrants and that’s big. Me being an immigrant and studying here at Carleton, and also working at the Innovation Hub… I can see that this is the future I want to be in. It’s as they say, if you want to get somewhere, make sure that you are surrounded in the space where you want to be, where you can learn from each other. Me being here, it’s teaching me each and every day and that is the reason i’m at TiE”

We also spoke to the Innovation Hub’s Hatch program facilitator, Mehrnaz Taghavishavazi, and a Hatch program participant, Madison Davis who were in attendance at TiE Summit 2023. Mehrnaz said, “i’m here to meet some investors for the students in the Hatch program”. Madison was eager to reap the networking benefits of the event, she said, “I’m always looking for opportunities to network and get involved, so when I heard about TiE, I thought it was great opportunity to come and connect with people”.
