CREATORS, DOERS & INNOVATORS WHO ARE SHAPING THE WORLD
Frontier technologies are thriving in Vancouver. We’ve got the second largest VR/AR/Metaverse industry globally, internationally recognized AI and cleantech industries, and a world-leading cluster of film, television, gaming, VFX and animation firms including Disney, Microsoft, Electronic Arts (EA), Sony Pictures, and Imageworks.
​
We are home to pioneers in robotics, quantum computing, and biotech with the global antibody leader Abcellera, and in blockchain technologies with the homegrown unicorns Layerzero and Dapper Labs. We are producing exponentially more frontier tech ‘unicorns’ (companies with billion dollar valuations) every year.

VANCOUVER DAY
We created a front-row seat to the latest innovation happening within Vancouver's frontier technology ecosystem. Attendees met with local tech unicorns, government leaders, and global investors betting on Vancouver. And enjoyed a packed agenda featuring fireside panels, networking, B2B matchmaking, mindfulness moments, and a few surprises.
