What is COIN

A Network Designed to Convert Innovation into Outcomes

COIN — the Canadian Open Innovation Network — is a structured corridor and hub network that runs an annual Industry Future Challenge Series, activates regional hubs, launches 90-day corridor pilots, and culminates each year in a Global Summit where finalists convert pilots into commitments.

Initiated by Prepr with founding partners including Magnet Network.

Global Corridors

Structured bilateral innovation pathways linking Canada to key economic partners — EU, UAE, Africa, and beyond.

Industry Future Challenge Series

Annual and themed challenge cohorts scoped by enterprises and agencies, solved by multidisciplinary teams.

90-Day Pilots via Prepr

Winning teams execute rapid pilots with lab infrastructure, micro-coaching, and real-time impact measurement.
