Highlights from the Growth Sector

Last week, it was a privilege to travel alongside six exceptional TSX and TSX Venture Exchange-listed companies as part of our three-stop European Innovation Showcase. From Geneva to Zurich to Milan, we introduced some of the most promising global growth stories to a curated audience of family offices and private capital.

Each of our presenters brought not only innovation, but insight, focus, and a remarkable degree of clarity in articulating where their company fits in the global narrative of sustainability, electrification, and security. As someone lucky enough to witness every presentation firsthand, I can say that each of them delivered with conviction and purpose.

Berk Sumen, Managing Director of TSX & TSXV Company Services at TMX Group, and Liz Priestman, CEO of IDG, at the TSX Innovation Roadshow.

Each stop on the tour reinforced the importance of building relationships in the room where questions are asked, trust is earned, and opportunities are born. These companies didn’t just present; they engaged and they listened. And in doing so, they made themselves memorable.
