Welcome to the new FICI website

FICI · ⁨1 min⁩

FICI has a new website, built to make it easier for Canadians to find their place in the innovation journey, whether they have no idea yet or a technology ready for international markets.

Here’s what’s new:

  • English and French. The entire site is available in both official languages.
  • Ten programs, one pathway. Our programs are organized around the stages of the innovation journey, from first idea to entrepreneurship, so you can see where to start and what comes next.
  • Free member accounts. Members can manage their profile, follow their applications and choose which updates they receive.
  • National Team applications online. Inventors can now apply to the National Inventors’ Team of Canada directly from their account and track their application’s status.
  • Events in one place. FICI events, Inclusive Innovators and international competitions from the IFIA network, with registration links for each.

Explore the site, create your free account, and tell us what you think at [email protected].
