About iCAN
International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada, iCAN organized by Toronto International Society of Innovation and Advanced Skills (TISIAS), locally supported by Innovation Initiative Co-operative Inc., and globally supported by International Federation of Inventors’ Associations (IFIA).
iCAN is the premier event of Canada for worldwide inventors. iCAN has shown continuous growth and improvement since its first edition in 2016 through 2017~2019, and to last year’s 5th Anniversary in 2020 which marked the event’s highest record in all numbers of total participants and collaborating organizations. The past 5 editions of iCAN from 2016~2020 featured participants from 81 different countries around the world which redefined the event to be the true global stage for worldwide inventors in Toronto, Canada.
