This May, Vancouver will welcome the world as the first North American city to host Web Summit, one of the largest global technology conferences.
Known for its thriving tech ecosystem, Vancouver is a fitting venue, especially as it leads North America in high-tech job growth. The event will offer an unprecedented opportunity to showcase British Columbia’s strengths, particularly in climate tech innovation.
Web Summit Vancouver is expected to attract thousands of international innovators, investors, tech buyers, and industry leaders, placing B.C. at the center of the global tech stage. The conference will provide a platform for local companies to engage with new markets, establish meaningful connections, and forge pathways to global expansion.
B.C.’s reputation as a leader in climate technology is already well-established, with five companies recently making the 2025 Global Cleantech 100 list. The province’s climate tech ecosystem continues to drive sustainable innovation, attracting investment and accelerating the development of breakthrough technologies.
A key highlight of Web Summit Vancouver will be the Climate Innovation Zone, a dedicated hub for climate leadership, networking, and ecosystem-building. This space will feature cutting-edge innovations, industry leaders, and global stakeholders working to advance solutions for a sustainable future.
