SUMMARY:Last Call: The Adoption Problems Nobody Said Out Loud | Foresight
DESCRIPTION:Four days of pitches and polished presentations are behind us. Now it is time for the truth. Join us for the final activation of Web Summit Vancouver: a high-energy session dedicated to the real-world barriers of climate tech adoption. \nWe are clearing the stage of slides and scripts. Instead\, we are handing the microphone to you. Whether you are an industry leader facing a procurement bottleneck or a founder hit by a regulatory wall\, this is your 60-second chance to air the “unsolvable” problem you are taking home with you. \nHow it works: \n\nThe Problem Mic: Step up to the stage and name one specific adoption challenge. No pitches allowed.\nThematic Clusters: After the rounds of “headaches\,” we group the audience into themed zones to find immediate collaborators.\nThe Missed Connections Board: Before you head to the airport\, leave your contact info and your specific “Need” on our physical wall of fame.\n\nDon’t leave Web Summit with just a stack of business cards. Come for the candour and leave with the one connection that actually moves the needle. \nModerated by: \n Nina Bader\, Manager\, Water\, Foresight \nPresented by:

SUMMARY:What's Coming for Climate Tech: Dual-Use\, Indigenous Co-Development\, and Canada's Untapped Trade Routes | ClimateDoor
DESCRIPTION:The next chapter for Canadian climate tech is already being written\, and it’s opening up 3 clear directions for founders. Defence budgets are reshaping what gets built and who buys it. Indigenous nations are emerging as project developers\, co-innovators\, and important buyers of cleantech. And Canada’s unique place in the G7 with free trade relationships representing 62% of global GDP are sitting largely untapped while founders default to a US market that’s become increasingly difficult. \nClimateDoor hosts this panel as a look behind the curtain at what’s actually in motion. Not predictions\, but live commercial activity across three converging frontiers. Practitioners who are structuring these deals\, navigating these partnerships\, and opening these markets will share what they’re seeing on the ground and what climate founders need to know to get ahead of what’s coming. \nFeatures speakers: \n\nBrittany Courvoisier-Nicol\, Co-founder & CPO\, CRWN.ai\nSean Midwood\, Former Royal Canadian Navy\nEdgard Villanueva-Cruz\, Indigenous Innovation Lead\, Unify Partners\nChad Rickaby\, CEO\, ClimateDoor (Moderator)\n\n  \nPresented by:

SUMMARY:Scaling Climate Tech with Urgency and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Climate tech doesn’t have decades to scale — and neither do we. Solving the hardest climate challenges takes more than just capital: it requires the right team\, timely pivots\, strategic partners\, and a supportive ecosystem that understands the urgency and complexity of scaling breakthrough hard tech solutions and building BIG things. \nIn this candid conversation with leading climate tech founders\, you’ll hear real stories from the front lines—how they navigated uncertainty\, overcame near-failures\, found unexpected traction\, and what they believe is still missing from Canada’s climate tech landscape. \nThere’s no playbook for this— just real-time lessons from the founders building Canada’s climate future. \nSpeakers: \nManou Davies\, CTO\, Anodyne Chemistries\nMilana Trifkovic\, Scientific Director and Co-Founder\, Envicore Inc.\nMatt Harper\, President & Co-founder\, Invinity Energy Systems\nJonathan Rhone\, CEO & Co-founder\, CO280\nParham Peiroo\, Director of Strategy at Teck Resources Limited and Board Member at NorthX Climate Tech (moderator)
