What is this program about?

The tech and innovation community has been instrumental in envisioning and establishing the Platform Innovation Centre; at the heart of it, is the 10X Circle – a group of passionate Calgarians and community leaders who see a future for Calgary rooted in the growth of a vibrant tech sector. As a gratitude for their support and contributions, Platform Calgary is paying it forward with the 10X Future Founders Scholarship to inspire the next generation of innovators in our city.

Successful students will each receive a $1,000 cash scholarship, and be invited to engage with Calgary’s tech community through various events and opportunities throughout their grade 12 year, which includes meeting with local tech leaders, tickets to events like Launch Party and tours of Calgary tech companies.
