Proud to Be Part of Forces AVENIR - TECH-NEST's Journey in Student Leadership
Québec City, QC
We're excited to share that Mahimur Rahman Khan represented Technology Nested with Ethics, Sustainability & Transparency (TECH-NEST) as Project Manager in this year's Forces AVENIR journey—an initiative that celebrates student leadership and community impact across Québec.
While our project didn't advance to the provincial finalist stage, the experience itself was incredibly rewarding. The Gala brought together inspiring students from across Québec—each with a story, a vision, and real momentum for change. It was a privilege to exchange ideas, connect, and celebrate the projects shaping our communities.
Growth Through the Journey
As a young, impact-driven startup, every challenge teaches us something new—from sharpening our mission and messaging to refining how we collaborate. This experience reminded us how much growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone and show up for the community.
“Leadership is a practice. It's built through real problems, generous peers, and the courage to keep learning.”
Gratitude
- Heartfelt thanks to Alexander Oster and Katie Broad for their incredible support throughout this journey.
- Appreciation to our founder Azfar Adib for trusting us with this opportunity.
- Huge congratulations to Starsailor (Space Concordia) for winning in our category—you've made Concordia proud!
Our Focus at TECH-NEST
- Digital Ethics: privacy, consent, equity, and responsible AI.
- Online Safety: practical literacy for students and communities.
- Community Impact: workshops, resources, and collaboration with student groups.
