Our partner, Techstars, is hosting a Global Online Startup Weekend series, "Unite to Fight COVID-19". The Canadian event will be held from April 24-26, 2020. Participants will work together from their homes to tackle the challenges presented by the pandemic.
Local Community Leaders, in partnership with Techstars, are volunteering to host this event, which will focus on developing Covid-19-related solutions unique to Canada. During this live, online event, innovators, developers and inventors from every province and territory will come together to conceptualize and develop prototypes that could solve some of the biggest challenges posed by the pandemic.
