NACO Summit 2026

NACO Summit is a carefully curated, invitation-only experience that brings together 500 attendees across founders, angel investors, venture capitalists, senior leaders, and policymakers. Over three days, attendees participate in keynotes, interactive panels, roundtable discussions, and the celebrated Moonshots™ stage, where Canada's highest-potential ventures present to an audience of investors and industry leaders. NACO Summit takes place at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada's capital, offering a symbolic and strategic setting for conversations about the nation's innovation future.

On May 7, Dr. Maura Campbell, President and CEO of OBIO®, will be speaking on the panel “Building Canada's Health Innovation Economy: What's Working and What Isn't” alongside Grace Lee Reynolds from MaRS and Dane Bedward from NBOT.
