The Canadian version of the British investment programme is also titled Dragons' Den.
Canada’s Dragons' Den premiered in 2006 and follows the same central structure: entrepreneurs present companies or products to a panel of wealthy investors and negotiate for capital in exchange for equity. The title was retained rather than replaced with the US programme’s name, Shark Tank.
The Canadian series is produced for a Canadian audience and features its own panel of business figures, national companies and market conditions. Although the programme shares the international format, its deals and investor lineup are separate from those in the British version.
The wording can be confusing because several countries use closely related titles, while the United States uses Shark Tank. “Shark Tank Canada” is an informal description some viewers might understand, but it is not the official title of the Canadian series. The canonical title is Dragons' Den.
