iCAN 2021 was held on August 28th, 2021 virtually in Toronto, Canada

The 6th annual edition of the International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN 2021 was held virtually in Toronto, Canada. This was the 2nd year in which the event was progressed virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 forbidding all public gatherings and group activities while overseas participants still found it difficult to travel abroad to join the event in Toronto. Despite all limitations, iCAN 2021 reached another record-breaking milestone surpassing all of its previous editions’ diversity and statistics.

The main purpose of iCAN is to build a special platform to unite creativity and innovation initiatives of Canadian inventors with the rest of the world by providing everyone with the golden opportunity to expand their international network, business activities, promote their inventions, new products and research projects while achieving a new milestone of success of winning iCAN Awards from Canada.

The 6th International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN 2021 organized by Toronto International Society of Innovation and Advanced Skills (TISIAS), supported by Innovation Initiative Co-operative Inc. “The Inventors’ Circle”, International Federation of Inventors’ Associations (IFIA),and The Patent Invention Magazine was held on August 28th, 2021 virtually in Toronto, Canada.

This year’s iCAN 2021 “The 6th Edition” once again marked the event’s highest record in terms of the number of total participants, countries and collaborating organizations.
