The Canadian Innovation Exchange Announces
the CIX Top 20 Innovators Competition
(September 1, 2009 - Toronto, ON) If necessity is the mother of invention, the Canadian Innovation Exchange (CIX) is proud to be its new step-father.
CIX today announced a call for entries for the CIX Top 20 – a new honorific ranking that will showcase Canada’s hottest innovation companies. Firms on the hunt for funding or strategic partnerships can apply for “CIX Top 20” status and pitch themselves live in front of some of the most important investors in North America. Ultimately at stake: the coveted title of “Canada’s Innovation Leader”.
“The CIX Top 20 will define Canada as a global leader in technology and innovation,” says Robert Montgomery, CEO of Achilles Media Ltd., the producers of Innovation Week 2009. “And we are excited to showcase the best and brightest minds in emerging technology at the Canadian Innovation Exchange.”
The CIX Top 20 is open to Canadian technology-based companies who consider themselves INNOVATORS in the fields of clean technologies, information and communication technology (ICT) and digital media. Entrants are invited to apply to highlight and share their innovative technology-based product or service with key companies, investors and other key representatives in the market of innovation.
Applications must be submitted online through our website http://canadianinnovationexchange.com no later than October 2, 2009 in order to be eligible, and it is FREE to enter! The Canadian Innovation Exchange takes place during Innovation Week on December 2, 2009 at The Design Exchange in Toronto.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
