The year is winding down, but the energy of innovation isn’t! Step away from year-end pressure and celebrate the growth, resilience, and success of our incredible innovation ecosystem. Innovation Factory and TechPlace are thrilled to invite you to our annual Holiday Client Social, which this year doubles as a special Housewarming Celebration for our brand-new shared office space in Burlington.

This strategic hub is designed to deepen community integration with our co-location partners like Brock University, Burlington Public Library, and the Halton District School Board. We are committed to strengthening our support for entrepreneurs with flexible workspace, curated programming, and expanded partnerships, all while aligning with the City of Burlington’s Vision 2040 to foster inclusive economic growth.

What to expect

• Explore our new space: Tour the new facility that will serve as the Halton hub for collaboration, mentorship, and growth in the coming year.
• Low-key, high-value networking: Unwind and forge meaningful connections with fellow founders, partners, expert advisors, and the dedicated iF and TechPlace teams before the holidays begin.
• Toast the year: Share some holiday cheer, great conversation, and join us for a toast to all the milestones and achievements the community unlocked this year.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to connect, celebrate, and make some new connections as we look ahead to 2026.
