Climate Innovation Zone @ Web Summit

Find us at Web Summit Vancouver 2026!

The Climate Innovation Zone is the global gateway into British Columbia and Canada’s climate innovation ecosystem — a curated, high-impact hub created to showcase breakthrough technologies, attract international investors, strengthen global partnerships, and demonstrate why BC is one of the world’s most compelling places to start, build, and scale climate solutions.

Created by a consortium of partners supporting the commercializing and scaling of Canadian climate tech solutions, the Zone is designed to convene founders, investors, corporates, and policymakers from around the world. It is a platform for meaningful discussion, collaboration, and discovery. It is where:

  • Innovators connect with customers, partners, and markets
  • Global investors discover Canadian opportunities
  • Visitors meet the organizations and academic institutions shaping BC’s climate ecosystem
  • We showcase our leadership in industrial decarbonization and clean economic growth

British Columbia offers a unique advantage for climate innovators: abundant clean energy, a collaborative public–private innovation system, world-leading research institutions, and strategic access to major global markets. At the Zone, visitors can meet the organizations and academic institutions shaping this ecosystem, connect with investors and industry leaders, and hear directly from founders building technologies that will transform industries and define the net-zero economy.

In the Climate Innovation Zone, we’re not only showcasing technologies — we’re showcasing a country building the industrial backbone of the clean economy.
