Aurmada presents The Future of Fashion & Defence, a live showcase and industry mixer exploring the convergence of advanced materials, wearable systems, and next-generation performance. Hosted in partnership with the Canada Startup Association and in collaboration with TMU Fashion Zone, this event brings together founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem leaders working at the intersection of design, protection, and technology. The evening will feature a live showcase of emerging products and prototypes, alongside a curated selection of early-stage startups building across adjacent domains. Select speakers will share perspectives on where the industry is heading, followed by an industry mixer designed for meaningful connections. The event will also feature the official launch of Startup Growth Magazine, a new initiative by Canadian SME Magazine highlighting emerging companies and innovation across the ecosystem. With participation from global delegates, including Expand North Star representatives visiting Canada as part of their national roadshow, and support from partners such as Founders Gap and GAIN (Global Angel Investor Network), this is a focused environment for discovery, collaboration, and early access to what’s coming next. Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech.
