XPRIZE Canada Hub

The XPRIZE Canada Hub — the world's first national XPRIZE Hub — is Canada's structured pathway from challenge discovery to real-world deployment. 

Hosted at the University of Calgary, the Hub recruits and supports Canadian teams competing in global XPRIZE challenges, connecting them to partners and validation environments, and helping them scale from competition to adoption. Whether you are ready to compete, partner, or contribute your expertise — your path starts here.

Global Hubs

To accomplish XPRIZE’s mission to create a world of equitable abundance, we need collaboration and participation from the entire world.  After 30 years of successful impact, and engaging 174 countries, we are, for the first time, establishing physical hubs in strategic locations across the globe to further strengthen our presence, encourage participation from local communities, and build partnerships toward our shared mission.

Each regional XPRIZE hub acts as a national and regional focal point for XPRIZE to create awareness about our mission and specific competitions, to attract innovators to participate in these competitions, and attract and activate a local ecosystem of partners. These partners in turn support local and regional teams on their journey toward building solutions and scaling toward global impact.

XPRIZE Wildfire

Canada's forests, communities, and emergency responders face some of the world's most intense wildfire conditions. 

The XPRIZE Wildfire competition challenges teams to develop technologies that detect, monitor, and suppress wildfires more effectively than any existing system. The next phase will require partners, test environments, and pathways to adoption—areas where Canada can play a leading role.
