It was a real pleasure to be a part of Tech Builders 2026: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆, and for JDL Immigration to have the opportunity to support once again this year’s conference as an event sponsor – truly an inspiring celebration of the Canadian start-up ecosystem!

As JDL Immigration prides itself in contributing to build a diverse and inclusive entrepreneurial landscape, by working hand-in-hand with prominent industry actors such as Global Startups and accompanying innovative immigrant founders through their immigration and leadership journey, it was my pleasure to preface and welcome on stage Christine Song who shared genuine insights most leadership conversations would not reveal.

Motivating and captivating TED-style presentations took place throughout the day, culminating with an extraordinary keynote live podcast interview between Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo.

Congratulations once again to Verdnt for winning this year’s pitch competition, despite facing fierce competitors!

Last but not least, a special congrats/thanks to Miryam Lazarte, Carla Ramos, Juan Pablo Carstens, Marcelle Soldá, Attilio Augieri and Deborah Oamen for putting up together such a fantastic event and for the hard work behind the scenes all day long!
