Vision & Mission

Where Canada’s Deep Tech Community Converges

NanoCanada is the network for innovators in deep tech, nanotechnology, and advanced materials.

Our growing community includes more than 350 members from industry, academia, and government who are solving the world’s toughest challenges by working together.

Our Network Formed to Bring Breakthroughs to Life

Before 2015, there wasn’t an easy way to access resources, support, and partners in the deep tech industry. Especially not from one place. That’s when our founder, Marie D’Iorio, saw an opportunity. Her vision? To facilitate partnerships and collaborations that bring scientific breakthroughs to the national and international marketplace. And, to do so by creating a network that helps members reach their full potential.
