About this Event

All are welcome to join the audience for the Finals on March 4, 2026 to hear presentations and find out who will win this year's edition of Pitch to the Chief™ with up to $30,000 in investment and prizes at stake, including the opportunity to field test new applications in a small-town, controlled pilot-scale environment with the Cobourg Police Service and partners. The event features refreshments, networking and the connectivity.

Pitch to the Chief™ is brought to you by the V13 Policetech Accelerator (a strategic joint initiative of Nventure and Cobourg Police Service) and this year's expansion of the competition was powered by SPUR Innovation Centre, Capita and Fresh Founders, and funded in part by the Government of Ontario through the Rural Ontario Development Program.

Thank you to police services and the regional innovation corridor for generating impact and opportunity for early-stage Canadian policetech entrepreneurs through this initiative.
