This is where the clean economy is being built. Find us at Web Summit Vancouver, May 12-14!
The Climate Innovation Zone is Canada’s front door at Web Summit — the place where the world’s most ambitious climate founders, investors, and industry leaders come together to move deals forward, form partnerships, and discover what’s next. We don’t just talk about the clean economy here. We’re building it.
Behind the Zone is a consortium of Canada’s leading climate innovation organizations united around a single purpose: accelerating the commercialization and global scaling of Canadian climate tech. When you step into the Zone, you’re stepping into that network and into direct access to the founders, institutions, and capital behind it.
Come to meet companies developing the technologies that will define industrial decarbonization. Come to explore investment opportunities in one of the world’s most active and well-resourced climate tech ecosystems. Come to find partners, customers, and collaborators from a country that leads the G7 in clean electricity, holds world-class research institutions, and offers unmatched strategic access to North American and Pacific markets.
The Climate Innovation Zone isn’t a showcase. It’s a signal that Canada is ready to lead, and that the most important conversations in climate tech this year are happening right here. Don’t miss it.
