An initiative spearheaded by McMaster Innovation Park (MIP), Innovation Factory’s annual DiFizen Award recipients are celebrated with a striking, 3D, branded installation inside MIP.

Ty Shattuck, CEO of McMaster Innovation Park and David Carter, Executive Director of Innovation Factory revealed a permanent wall installation on the main floor of The Atrium at MIP, Canada’s premier research and innovation park.

The wall features winners of Innovation Factory’s Mark Chamberlain Difizen Of The Year Award. The DiFizen award celebrates entrepreneurship and innovation in Hamilton. Each year, the award is presented to an individual who has made a great impact on Hamilton’s innovation community.

Innovation Factory is committed to supporting start-ups and scaling companies with advisory services, training and creating strategic connections. This commitment could not be achieved without the dedicated support of the Hamilton innovation ecosystem. To show gratitude to the community, Innovation Factory established the annual Mark Chamberlain DiFizen award in 2012.

Innovation Factory would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to MIP.
