The program connects Canadian tech founders with municipal and enterprise partners to address pressing challenges affecting mobility networks. Through collaborative events, pitch sessions and focused exploration, founders present solutions to these challenges, with selected companies receiving growth coaching, feedback and an opportunity to pitch their solutions at a showcase event. Successful applicants also gain a Communitech Connect membership and valuable introductions to key partners for further support.

Fast Track Cities is open to any Canadian startup or scale-up that has a solution to one or more of the proposed challenges. 

Participation opportunities are available for other stakeholders and partners including municipalities, government representatives and private enterprises.
