Future of Cities Call for Solutions 

Can your tech solve our cities' collective challenges? 

Communitech and the Future of Cities 2022 partners have teamed up with 20+ municipalities from across Canada to identify the top challenges faced by our cities. Now, we’re looking for homegrown tech companies that can deliver solutions to one or more of the issues.

No, but the experience will look a little different for pre-revenue companies. A limited number of seats are available to early-stage companies with products not quite ready for customers. These companies will have the opportunity to gain valuable feedback on solutions by collaborative partners.
