Access the cutting-edge of applied AI

Our corporate partners include some of Canada’s most successful companies across various industries. Our AI Catalyst Program ensures that partners receive tailored advice, and AXL receives a constant flow of business opportunities for founding our companies. We pre-qualify these challenges based on market potential and the partner’s commitment to finding a solution.

The AI Catalyst Program

Deep Needs Analysis

Partners have business problems but often won’t understand the full breadth of opportunity available. We conduct a deep needs analysis of the partner’s current AI and data strategy.​

Opportunity Analysis

Our analyst team conducts extensive research to understand business opportunities and considers impactful innovation programs such as design sprints and hackathons.​

Partner Solutioning

We present the partner with business opportunities AXL might choose to co-found, conditional on their involvement. Opportunities range from right-of-first-refusal, joint venture, and direct investment.

Our State of AI Summits

Every quarter, AXL brings together Canada’s top CEOs, CTOs, and AI pioneers for an exchange of ideas exclusively for our corporate partners.

At the AXL State of AI Summit, our technologists and researchers deliver actionable insights that forecast market trends—often months or even years ahead of public awareness. This isn’t just another conference; it’s a launchpad for transformative ideas that shape the future of industries.

A few positions remain in our incoming class of partners for 2025.
