About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

The V13 Policetech Accelerator is proud to present the 2024 Edition of Pitch to the Chief™, sponsored by Tactical Distributors Canada. This event offers a unique view of novel technologies in the first responder marketplace that offer valuable operational efficiencies for police services. The competition allows early-stage companies an opportunity to present their innovative ideas in front of a panel of Ontario Police Chiefs.

The panel will consider adoption of new products, services, strategies, and collaborative approaches to enhancing efficiencies within policing. The winning venture will take home a $30,000 Grand Prize Package ($5,000 cash, a $25,000 investment from NCFDC, and further in-kind opportunities, including co-location at Venture13, pilot projects, and more).

Partners, investors, police services, technology incubators/accelerators, and members of the community are welcome to join us as part of the live studio audience at the Innovation Commons at Venture13 on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024.
