Holovast in Toronto: Second Global Incubator Program Market Visit, Canada
Highlights from the Global Incubator Program's second market visit, from the Niagara region and the N3 Summit to the MaRS and Innovate UK Manufacturing Disruptor Showcase.
Toronto, Canada - March 2026: HOLOVAST Ltd joined the second market visit of the Global Incubator Program, delivered by MaRS Discovery District with Innovate UK's Made Smarter Innovation challenge, from 30 March to 2 April 2026.
The week opened with a full day in the Niagara region: the tunnel beneath the Niagara Parks Power Station, Niagara College's Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre, and the Niagara Falls Innovation Hub.
The centrepiece was the N3 Summit, NGen's national manufacturing summit at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, where the cohort spent two days showcasing at the Innovate UK and MaRS booth and meeting leaders across Canadian manufacturing, including Linda Hasenfratz, Executive Chair of Linamar.
At the MaRS and Innovate UK Manufacturing Disruptor Showcase, opened by Ben Farmer, Deputy Challenge Director for Made Smarter Innovation at Innovate UK, HOLOVAST introduced its governed execution platform to Canadian manufacturers, investors, and programme partners. The week closed with the UK-Canada Manufacturing Brunch, bringing the cohort together with founders and ecosystem partners.
Johnson Oluwadele, Founder and CTO of HOLOVAST, said:
"The value of a week like this is focus. We met the people who run Canadian manufacturing programmes and plants, tested our story against their reality, and left with concrete next steps for pilots in the region."
