Membership

CCI is the business council for Canada’s most ambitious, Canadian-headquartered innovation companies.

Our members are revenue-generating firms scaling from millions to billions — companies building valuable intellectual property, creating high-value jobs and competing for customers, capital and talent around the world.

Membership gives founders and CEOs a trusted national network of peers, a stronger voice with governments across Canada, and access to the relationships, intelligence, programs and platforms that can help their companies scale.

Together, CCI members are working to build more globally competitive companies from Canada — and a stronger, more prosperous country as a result.

Membership benefits

CCI membership is built for the leaders of high-growth companies.

You join a national network of founders, CEOs and executives who understand the opportunities and challenges that come with scaling a company from Canada. CCI brings that network together throughout the year, advocates on the issues affecting your growth, and gives members access to expertise, opportunities and platforms designed around the needs of scale-up companies.

‍

“Before CCI, there wasn't a single significant group that represented Canadian tech companies without also representing foreign multinationals and universities. We had no clear voice. I continue to be impressed by what the CCI team accomplishes to support high-growth firms like ours.”

- David Ross, CEO of Ross Video
