Build to Become

This year, our CFC is themed Build to Become. It's a belief that the act of building shapes not just what we create, but who we are. So, when Canada chooses to invest in its innovators, we build a nation worth believing in.

Every session at CFC 2026 is designed around this simple idea. So, here's how the journey begins.

Ceremonies & Keynotes

Incredible keynote speakers, innovators and speaker panels that will leave you inspired to take action.

Interactive Sessions

Featuring hands-on experiences from the brightest minds. From Rejection Therapy, to Perfecting Your Pitch.

Lifelong Community

The people you meet here are the ones you'll be growing with, professionally and personally.

About the Fellowship

Founded in 2011, the Cansbridge Fellowship selects ~15 of Canada's most ambitious undergraduate students each year for a $10,000 grant, an international internship in Asia, and lifelong membership in a community of builders and leaders.

And the results speak for themselves.

Fellows go on to work and lead at the highest levels, globally. They found companies backed by the world's top investors, including multiple YC companies, and build ventures reaching hundreds of millions of users.
