ILM Weekend, a “hackathon” for Muslim Canadian entrepreneurs, debuted in Toronto this past January.

Working over two days, with access to some of the top mentors in the fields of entrepreneurship and technology, teams of contestants developed innovative ideas and products to address problems Muslims currently face.

Muslim Link spoke with ILM Weekend's first prize winner Davoud Sarfaraz who worked with his team to develop the idea for SeerahBOX, an innovative product designed to help Muslim children learn about their faith in a fun and interactive way.

A group of Muslims in Toronto have come together to create ILM Weekend (January 21-22, 2017), where Muslims and non-Muslims will come together to brainstorm and develop innovative products and services for Muslims.

The deadline to apply to participate in the weekend is October 15, 11:59 pm. Click here for more information.

Muslim Link interviewed the team to learn why they felt this was in important initiative.
