Against the backdrop of beautiful British Columbia, the Frontier Summit isn’t your normal tech event: it’s about purpose, connection and creating an experience that we hope will leave you in awe. The bifactor of this will lead to innovation opportunities, investments, whitepapers, and inspiration.

 

Frontier technologies are thriving in this region. Vancouver has the second largest VR/AR/Metaverse industry globally, second largest AI industry nationally, second largest cleantech industry nationally, 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 unicorn Layerzero. We are producing exponentially more frontier tech ‘unicorns’ (companies with billion dollar valuations) every year.

 

We have become an ecosystem of builders and innovators. And we’re at a once-in-a-generation opportunity to recognize the presence of these future-shaping technologies, drive their growth, and propel them along with Vancouver to the global stage.
