16th Annual LiONS LAIR Pitch Competition and Gala

Innovation Factory’s LiONS LAIR is an annual pitch competition that brings together the entrepreneurship and innovation community from across Hamilton, Halton, Brant, and Norfolk.

Now celebrating its 16th year, LiONS LAIR has been the heartbeat of innovation in the region for over a decade and a half -championing community, growth, and collaboration. The competition gives finalist companies the opportunity to pitch their ventures to a panel of top business experts - the “LiONS” - for a chance to win cash and in-kind prizes.

Since its inaugural event in 2011, LiONS LAIR has grown into a premier regional event, attracting hundreds of leaders from the business and start-up communities. This year’s gala promises an exciting evening as we continue to celebrate innovation and entrepreneurial success.

Jack Lee, Senior Director, Capital Access at OBIO®, will be attending the event.
