LIFT 3.0 is London's largest Black and African business summit — a full-day gathering of 300+ entrepreneurs, professionals, and community builders from across Southwestern Ontario converging at Western University's Ronald D. Schmeichel Building for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Now in its third year, LIFT brings together founders at every stage — from startup to scale — for a day of keynote addresses, expert-led Power Sessions, live pitch competitions, a vibrant vendor marketplace, and community connection unlike anything else in the region.
What to expect:
- Keynote address from a nationally recognized business leader
- Power Sessions on revenue growth, capital access, and digital strategy
- Pitch Lab — a $3,000 cash prize business competition
- 30+ Black-owned vendor marketplace businesses
- Panels on financial readiness, real estate, tech, and sector growth
- Networking with entrepreneurs, investors, and institutional partners
LIFT 3.0 is more than an event. It is a movement — one that reflects London's growing diversity, entrepreneurial energy, and commitment to inclusive economic development.
