The Black Innovation in STEM Summit: Where Diverse Founders Defy The Odds
Nobellum is thrilled to announce the launch of the BIS (Black Innovation in STEM) Summit, taking place on June 15, 2024, at Arcadian Court, Toronto. This exciting event will feature ‘Dragon’s Den’ style pitches that showcase the groundbreaking work of startups from Nobellum's Innovator Program, highlighting the creativity and ingenuity of Black entrepreneurs.
With only 0.5% of venture capital funding reaching Black-owned businesses, the BIS Summit aims to close this gap by providing a platform for these innovative startups to shine. The event will feature insightful panels, speed networking, headshots, website reviews and a robotics workshop; topped off with an Afro-Fashion Showdown VIP mixer celebrating Black creativity.
We are proud to have the support of key organizations whose contributions have been crucial to the success of this summit:
