The 2025 Cantech Investment Conference took place on October 9th in Toronto. The conference, title sponsored by the TMX Group and Angad Capital connected 36 Canadian Innovation Sector stocks to hundreds of investors. This was Cantech’s second year after returning from an extended Covid-19 induced break. It was notable for the return of The Cantech Letter Awards, a staple of previous shows. This year’s winners were picked by a panel of anonymous sell-side analysts from Canadian firms. Congrats to all the winners and thank you to sponsors Winning Media, Cozen O’Connor, ATB Capital Markets, Beacon Securities, Canaccord Genuity, Haywood Capital Markets, Paradigm Capital, Roth Canada, Ventum Financial, Atrium Research, Newsfile and Origin Merchant Partners.
