Organizations using AI are growing faster, doing more, and having a greater impact
Whether entrepreneurs were brand new to AI or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, there was a lab tailored to their needs. The Early AI Adoption Lab built foundational skills and confidence, while the AI Strategy and Operations Lab helped founders turn early experimentation into a full, values-aligned strategy.
Across both labs, participants received expert guidance, real-world case studies, and the support of a smart, ambitious community.
To date, more than 250 entrepreneurs across the country have completed the program, with 82% significantly improving their ability to plan and implement AI systems.
All active cohorts of AI Skills Lab Canada are now complete. Join the list to be the first to hear about future AI programming and opportunities.
