Join us for the Carleton IP Impact Award Celebration, an event recognizing the achievements of Carleton researchers whose innovative work is creating meaningful real‑world impact.
Hosted by the Carleton Innovation Transfer Office (CITO) within Industry and Partnership Services (IPS), this event brings together our research community, partners, and supporters to honour excellence in innovation and impact.
The celebration will showcase Carleton innovators and their pathways to impact, highlight emerging intellectual property developed at the university, and provide insights into how collaboration between researchers, industry partners, investors, and the wider innovation ecosystem accelerates the journey from research to market. It is also a valuable opportunity to connect with those who share a passion for innovation and discovery.

The agenda will include inspiring presentations from award winners and featured nominees, live technology demonstrations, and dedicated networking sessions providing space for discussion and connection among researchers, innovators, industry professionals, and investors. Refreshments will be provided.
We invite you to celebrate the creativity, collaboration, and impact that define Carleton’s research and innovation community. Whether you are a nominee, researcher, industry partner, investor or someone with an interest in innovation and intellectual property, your participation helps recognize the spirit of innovation and the power of research to shape a better future.
