From Testing to Transformation: SMO Innovation in Practice

Join us for an in-person, interactive gathering celebrating the creativity, resilience, and impact of small and medium organizations (SMOs) in Canada’s international cooperation sector.

English, French and Spanish interpretation will be provided.

This event, co-hosted by Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT), will spotlight real-world experiences from SMO innovators as they share lessons from testing, adapting, and advancing innovation in practice.

Through participatory dialogue and creative activities, you will discover practical insights and inspiring examples of innovation in action while connecting with SMO leaders and peers across sectors, fostering meaningful collaboration. The event provides a supportive platform where SMOs can speak confidently about innovation, gender equality, community collaboration, and adaptation. It is designed as a pluralistic, inclusive space that values dialogue, relationship-building, and shared learning.

This event is an opportunity to feel energized, inspired, and connected. Come ready to explore new ideas and celebrate the human side of innovation in Canada’s international cooperation ecosystem.
