Business Incubator Pitch Challenge 2026 Set to Spotlight Greater Sudbury's Rising Entrepreneurs

The City of Greater Sudbury's Regional Business Centre is proud to present the Business Incubator Pitch Challenge 2026, a local competition showcasing innovative entrepreneurs coming out of the Greater Sudbury Business Incubator Program. The event will take place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Collège Boréal's Trisac Hall.

This year, entrepreneurs from three Business Incubator cohorts (Cohorts 4, 5, and 6) will take the stage to compete in a fast-paced pitch competition that celebrates innovation, creativity and entrepreneurial growth. Each participant will have just five minutes to demonstrate how their business is solving a real-world problem, what sets them apart from the competition and what lies ahead in their business journey.

Each year, the Business Incubator Pitch Challenge draws nearly 100 engaged spectators, including entrepreneurs, community leaders, investors and business professionals. The event offers a unique opportunity to experience the energy of Greater Sudbury's entrepreneurial community firsthand and to support the next generation of local business leaders.

This year's Business Incubator Pitch Challenge is sponsored by a lineup of business innovation champions:
• Gold Sponsor: Desjardins
• Silver Sponsor: To be announced
• Nickel Sponsor: Northern Ontario Angels
• People's Choice Award Sponsor: Baker Tilly

The showcase will conclude with a post-event networking reception, where attendees can connect with entrepreneurs, industry leaders and members of Greater Sudbury's growing business community. Refreshments will be provided.
