Ready To Collide?
Prepare to witness the launch of Canada’s first Black Innovation Zone, a groundbreaking collaboration with visionary partners to ignite innovation like never before!
What is the
Black Innovation Zone?
The Black Innovation Zone is a collective of Black-led organizations that have united to create an initiative curated to boost visibility and support for Black founders and professionals in Canada. This collaboration fosters a more inclusive ecosystem, enabling Black innovators to learn, collaborate and grow their local and global ventures.
On June 23, 2023, Nobellum came together with a coalition of Black leaders: Black Founders Network, FACE Coalition, The Wright Success, Federation of Black Canadians (FBC), and Black Wealth Club to host an pre-Collision Conference event that was for us, by us.
This was an opportunity for us to increase the representation of Black Innovators, and the quality of our experience at one of the world’s largest technology conferences. Attendees were able to connect with a community of Black founders, investor, technology professionals, and operators all going to Collision Conference 2023.
How to Collide: 2023 Recap
Now you not only know what the Black Innovation Zone is, but you also learned how we collide back in 2023.
Now Get ready for an electrifying experience at Collision 2024 on June 15th, where the Black Innovation Zone (BIZ) will unite Black-led organizations to supercharge visibility and support for Black founders. This dynamic event will ignite connections, spotlight groundbreaking innovations, and drive powerful change in the tech industry.
