Indigenous peoples have always embodied innovation and tradition. In today’s rapidly growing economy, a new generation of Indigenous changemakers continue to look for ways to combine traditional knowledge with new ideas to forge a new path for their peoples and communities, as they contribute to the innovation landscape in Canada.

With a focus on supporting, educating, and mentoring Indigenous peoples, pawâcikêwikamik provides access to cutting-edge technologies, training, and mentorship to support the creation of successful start-ups, in a space that emphasizes culture, language, kinship, and connection.

“Partnership is at the heart of what SIIT does.
