What happens when the people shaping what’s next all get in the same room?

Researchers. Industry leaders. Startups. Investors.

On October 14, they’re coming together in Kingston for RAIS2026, a full day exploring robotics, artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction and regional innovation.

And there’s more.

Launch Lab’s RISE (Regional Investor Summit Experience) will take the stage, spotlighting regional robotics and AI startups ready to pitch their ideas to investors.

Research. Demos. Big ideas. Bold pitches. New connections.

One day. A whole lot of innovation. 🚀

Launch Lab is proud to partner with Ingenuity Labs Research Institute, Mitacs, and other Kingston innovation partners to bring RAIS2026 to life.

Launch Lab exists because entrepreneurs deserve more than generic advice. They deserve guidance from people who have been in the room, who have raised capital, navigated growth, and made the hard calls.

That is the standard Scott Runté holds as CEO. And it is the standard every advisor, mentor, and program at Launch Lab is built around.

If you are building something in Eastern Ontario, come find us.

We are past the halfway point of the year. For a lot of founders, August is the moment to come up for air and ask honestly, what is working, what is not, and what needs to shift before Q4.

It is not always a comfortable conversation, but it is almost always a useful one. If you are navigating that right now, Launch Lab is here to help you think it through.

Entrepreneurship is early mornings, hard decisions, and a lot of uncertainty. It is choosing to keep going when no one would blame you for stopping.

Today we want to acknowledge every founder in Eastern Ontario who shows up anyway, for their idea, their team, and the community they are building for. You are why we do this.

Every summer we see founders use the quieter pace to think bigger, to revisit their strategy, reconnect with their purpose, and get honest about what Q4 needs to look like.

Some of the most meaningful conversations we have had this year happened over the past few months. Heading into fall, we are more energized than ever about what this region is building. Stay tuned.

Some of the boldest ideas we have seen come from founders who are just getting started. International Youth Day is a good reminder that age has nothing to do with the quality of an idea.

If you are a young entrepreneur in Eastern Ontario with something worth building, we want to hear from you.

When Judith Pineault sits down with a founder, she is not speaking from theory. She has lived it, from ten years in senior leadership at a large multinational, to launching her own consulting firm, to co-founding a custom manufacturing company that she grew into global markets across North America, South America, China, Japan, Morocco, and Sweden before selling it in 2019.

Today, Judith brings that depth of experience to the founders and scale-ups she works with through Launch Lab. Her expertise in financial modelling, KPI development, and process management gives early-stage businesses the kind of rigour that turns a good idea into a fundable, scalable company.

If you are building something in Eastern Ontario and need an advisor who has been in the room, and at the table, Judith is exactly that.

There is a version of entrepreneurship that glorifies the grind- the late nights, the packed calendars, the never stopping. We have seen enough founders burn out to know that is not a strategy. It is a risk.

The best ideas we have heard at Launch Lab did not come from exhausted people pushing through. They came from founders who gave themselves permission to step away, think clearly, and come back with fresh eyes.

Rest is not a reward for finishing. It is part of how the work gets done well.

Take the break. We will be here when you are ready.
