About NEXT AI — Toronto

NEXT AI supports ventures where AI is central to the business. The Toronto 2027 program runs March to August, with a mix of virtual and in-person participation and mandatory Toronto events. The official page lists October 15 to December 9, 2026 as the application window. Teams should review its Canadian incorporation, ownership, founder-participation and technical/business requirements before applying. Prepare evidence of the problem, technical differentiation and customer validation. This is NEXT AI, not the separate NEXT 36 program or an automatic investment offer.
