• Nomination – AI Catalyst Awards 2026

  • About Awards

    The AI Catalyst Awards 2026 are a regional program recognizing individuals, teams, and organizations that apply artificial intelligence to solve meaningful, real-world problems. Spanning startups, established businesses, students, non-profits, public-sector teams, and experienced professionals, the Awards surface the practical AI work already underway across the Burlington–Hamilton region and its extended ecosystem.

    Beyond recognition, the program exists to map and strengthen the regional AI landscape — connecting builders with partners, mentors, and customers, and demonstrating to the wider community what responsible, applied AI looks like in practice. 

    The premise: AI is not just happening in big labs. It is happening here.
