Cooperathon Mixer and Info session at DMZ

DMZ and our partners at Desjardins are hosting the 2025 Cooperathon, a nationwide program that gives innovators the tools, mentorship and resources they need to solve real-world problems.

Here’s what you can get at Canada’s largest open innovation competition:

• Connect with fellow innovators, potential co-founders, team members and industry experts
•  Access to exclusive training workshops led by experts in AI, business strategy and pitching
• Selected teams compete in a final pitch competition in July for potential funding and prizes
• Potential acceptance into DMZ’s Basecamp Program to continue scaling your startup

Connect with other passionate innovators, build your team, and develop ventures for this year's challenge themes. The best part? The program is open to all and completely free. All participants will get access to expert coaching, training workshops and networking opportunities. Selected teams will even get the chance to pitch for a national competition and earn monetary prizes.
