Core Area · Incubation
The AIC Venture Studio is in the build.
Canada needs more AI companies built here, owned here, and serving Canadians. We're building the studio to back the founders who'll do it, validation, mentorship, pilot access, and Canadian-hosted compute. It's in active development right now. Join the interest list and you'll be first in the door when intake opens.
