The world has changed. Canada's moment to build is now.

The contents of BetaKit Most Ambitious were determined solely by BetaKit’s editorial team. Honourees were selected based on their clear and demonstrated ambition to further Canada’s autonomy, security, and long-term prosperity. BetaKit has worked hard to tell the stories of their ambitions and why they matter to Canada throughout the pages that follow.

To compile this list of ambitious Canadians, BetaKit relied on a variety of sources. First and foremost was our own research and reporting. BetaKit also solicited input from ecosystem partners and innovation leaders from across the country, including previous Most Ambitious honourees, and we are grateful for their help in identifying Canadian individuals and organizations worthy of recognition.

All selections were made at the discretion of BetaKit’s editorial team, and no honourees paid for their consideration or inclusion.

Of course, not every ambitious Canadian is listed in this year’s issue. We are fortunate that our nation’s aspirations are too big and numerous to fit in a single magazine, particularly one built on the theme of sovereignty. For more stories on all the ways that Canadian innovators are building a stronger, more prosperous nation, follow our ongoing coverage on BetaKit.com.
