Innovation is Hard

Yukon Innovation Day is an opportunity to offer a platform for local innovators, entrepreneurs, social enterprises, community organizations, and citizens to meet, make, and grow innovative and transformative ideas, as well as celebrating those who are leading positive change in the North.

This year’s theme, Innovation is Hard, acknowledges the real challenges that come with pushing boundaries, thinking differently, and turning bold ideas into reality. It underscores the importance of collaboration, creativity, and community support in overcoming obstacles along the way. By connecting Yukoners as innovators, we aim to build a resilient and supportive environment where setbacks are seen as part of the process, and persistence is celebrated. Innovation isn’t easy—but together, through shared effort and determination, we can navigate the hard parts and create lasting impact in the place we call home.

Join us at events throughout the day to connect, make, learn and innovate.

We have an awesome lineup of programming and events!
