Some of these include MIT via their SOLVE Initiative, the University of Toronto’s Creative Destruction Labs Program, Toronto Metropolitan University’s Social Venture Zone, Innovate Niagara, and the SVG Agrifood Accelerator. The Poket team is a recipient of the Top 30 Under 30 Developer Award for Canada, General Motors Award for “Community-Driven Innovation”, and have presented at the United Nations General Assembly, World Bank, Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA), and others for their technology's innovative approach to research and data collection.
