Genuine connections in a digital world

The 13th edition Startupfest returned to Montréal with a new and exciting direction. 2023 honed in on two major shifts in society; the augmentation of humans by machines, and the newfound importance of genuine human connection. We embraced both of these changes and weaved them into every part of Canada’s original startup event.
