Mark with Carla from Global Startups, Manny Kalia of One Eleven, and some incredible entrepreneurs. 🤝🚀

A peek inside Vector, the AI incubator at U of T founded by Geoffrey Hinton himself. 🤖🧠

Another stop with the group at MaRS, one of Toronto's key tech hubs. Fun fact: it's in the same building where insulin was developed. 💉➡️💡 They turned a hospital into a hub for innovation.

Miryam Lazarte really packed the schedule full! 📅✨

University of Toronto researchers built a proof-of-concept AI worm that adapts its attack to each device as it spreads — scanning for weaknesses, harvesting credentials, and siphoning compute to fuel the next hop. The unnerving part: it runs on cheap open-weight models, not frontier ones, which lowers the bar for who can pull it off. Demoed in an isolated lab.

🤖 Beyond the Classroom: Exploring the Future of AI

Learning doesn't only happen in a classroom.

Recently, NOIC students embarked on an immersive AI exploration journey across Toronto, gaining firsthand insight into the technologies shaping our future.

📍 Stop 1: MaRS Discovery District & Vector Institute

Our students visited one of Canada's leading innovation hubs, where researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders collaborate to transform groundbreaking ideas into real-world solutions.

At the Vector Institute, students discovered how artificial intelligence is advancing fields such as healthcare, finance, education, and cybersecurity. They also learned about the contributions of Geoffrey Hinton, often referred to as the "Godfather of AI" and a co-founder of the institute.

It was a powerful reminder that AI is not just a trending topic—it's already changing the world around us.

🎓 Stop 2: University of Toronto

Walking through the University of Toronto during graduation season was an inspiring experience. Surrounded by historic architecture and graduating students celebrating their achievements, our students witnessed what academic excellence and future possibilities can look like.

💡 Stop 3: Industry Exchange with TrendAI

The day concluded with an industry discussion focused on AI and cybersecurity.

Students explored important questions such as:

❓ How can AI be used safely and responsibly?
❓ How can organizations protect sensitive data?
❓ As AI becomes more powerful, what role will human creativity and critical thinking play?

The team also shared insights into the world-renowned Pwn2Own hacking competition, highlighting the importance of building technologies that are not only innovative, but also secure and trustworthy.

Experiences like these help students connect classroom learning with real-world innovation and prepare for the opportunities of tomorrow.

🌟 The future isn't something to wait for—it's something to explore.

Canada AI Ecosystem: Toronto and Montreal as AI Hubs

Canada has become one of the world’s most important artificial intelligence ecosystems, built on decades of research, talent, government support, and startup innovation.

Toronto and Montreal are at the center of this growth. Toronto is known for enterprise AI, fintech, healthcare, and the Vector Institute, while Montreal has become a deep learning powerhouse through Mila, university research, and a strong startup culture.

Canada’s early investment in AI, including the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, helped connect universities, researchers, companies, and government institutions into a powerful innovation network.

From research to commercialization, Canada’s AI ecosystem shows how strong institutions, skilled talent, responsible AI development, and business adoption can shape the future of technology.

Our cofounder, Charlene, is a proud uoft Commerce Alum, so EATABLE showed up with something special, a limited-edition drop created just for this moment.⁠

Introducing the 6ix Mix, our take on the Chicago mix. A signature blend of cheese, caramel, and blue spirulina, inspired by the city and reimagined in UofT blue.⁠
⁠
It was amazing seeing everyone stop by, try the mix, and share in the experience with us. Nothing beats bringing people together over bold flavours and good energy.✨️⁠
