Get Ready for Web Summit Vancouver
In May 2025, Vancouver will host one of the largest and most exciting tech and innovation conferences in the world.
Are you ready?
North America's First Web Summit
Web Summit Vancouver will bring thousands of international innovators, investors, industry leaders and media to our province, putting British Columbia - and B.C. companies - on the global stage and at the center of an incredible opportunity for our ecosystem. This is our chance to engage with new markets, new industries, and new paths forward, and Innovate BC is ready to help our innovation community make their mark.
The Road to Web Summit Vancouver
In support of Web Summit Vancouver, Innovate BC is collaborating with ecosystem partners to deliver a Sector Development Program aimed at maximizing benefits to B.C. companies under the banner of ‘Road to Web Summit Vancouver, Presented by Innovate BC (R2WSV)’.
R2WSV is a multi-year initiative aimed at leveraging Web Summit as a platform to attract investors, acquire customers, and drive growth for B.C. companies. As a part of R2WSV, Innovate BC will work alongside partners across the ecosystem to develop and implement a comprehensive suite of programming, including events, training, development programs, and pitch competitions, that enable B.C. companies to capitalize on the opportunities available through Web Summit Vancouver. We aim to engage with partners that can also maximize participation from founders across British Columbia’s various sectors, regions, and diverse communities (including Indigenous, women, newcomers and people of colour).
Call for Proposals
The call for proposals to partner on R2WSV programming has now closed. We are currently in the process of reviewing submissions and will contact proponents with a decision soon.
