INTRODUCTION

International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN is the world-recognized premier event of Canada for inventors which has shown continuous growth and improvement since its first edition in 2016 through 2024. The last 9 editions of iCAN from 2016~2024 featured participants from 96 different countries around the world which elevated and redefined iCAN to become the ultimate global stage for merging worldwide creativity and innovation in Toronto, Canada.

This year, the 10th International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN 2025 will be held online and it is our honour to once again invite you to join us, share your ideas, make an impact, and be awarded for your excellence in the center of multicultural mainstream in this global competition based in Toronto, Canada.

The main purpose of iCAN is to build a special platform to unite creativity and innovation initiatives of Canadian inventors with the rest of the world by providing everyone with the golden opportunity to expand their international network, business activities, promote their inventions, new products and research projects while achieving a new milestone of success of winning iCAN Awards from Canada.

iCAN is a colossal confluence of many favourable programs: invention competition, keynote speakers’ educational presentations, the Finals Movie and the iCAN Awards. Inventors, innovators, students, professors, researchers, scientists, designers, entrepreneurs, and anyone with spectacular ideas are eligible to apply to iCAN 2024 and take advantage of all programs.

* For your information, iCAN 2025 will be held online for long-distance mode (remote) participants only. There will be no physical exhibition or award ceremony in Toronto, Canada. iCAN tentatively plans to be restored back to offline mode again in the near future.
