About this Event

The Metaverse: What’s the Hype?

Presented by Frontier Collective & the Vancouver Entrepreneurs Forum

This event will bring together an intersection of communities across Vancouver’s vibrant and diverse innovation ecosystem, helping to connect the metaverse, virtual and augmented reality, web3 with other industries. The event aims to provide Vancouver's entrepreneurial community with insights as to what is happening in this space, such as key technologies and innovations, trends, how it is disrupting industries and affecting strategies. The key message we are looking to deliver is: why should you care about the metaverse, what do you need to know or should start thinking about for how these technological innovations will impact your company, other industries and is there an interplay with ESG mandates?

Future of Transportation: Interactive Tech Workshop, Evening Reception and Panel

Humanity’s evolution is marked by our mobility. From walking to running, horse drawn carriages to the first car. Now we are shifting from gas guzzlers to electric supercars, from taxis to ridesharing, trains to Hyperloops. Where is transportation going next?

About this Event

Blockchain: The Technology Most Likely to Change the World

Blockchain is poised to transform every industry, redefining the ways in which we transact online, share ideas and manage our data and workflows. Beyond what we might understand is the new digital currency for payments and NFT marketplaces, blockchain applications are being used for so much more. Decreasing information management complexities and costs, establishing new levels of transparency and trust, Blockchain is becoming the new medium for collaboration, integrity and self-sovereignty. Applications range from the sharing of medical data, supply chain and logistics monitoring, music royalty tracking, global financial transactions, intellectual property and personal identity security. The DNA of impact is global. While we have seen many cryptocurrency companies soar in value, is it hype? Or are we in fact standing on the precipice of the next generation of the internet?

In this session, we will explore the fundamentals of Blockchain and some of the applications that are profoundly transforming business, government and society, setting the stage for the next generation of a value-driven internet.

About this Event

Catalyzing Impact: Strengthening Our Climate Solutions Ecosystem

As the impact of climate change is accelerating globally, the need for immediate, scalable solutions has never been more imminent. In BC’s own microcosm of the world’s grim future, 2021 saw a heat dome responsible for 500+ deaths and a record number of forest fires, along with an atmospheric river that wiped out communities, major transportation corridors and agricultural lands, disrupting an already tenuous supply chain. BC is, however, home to an ecosystem of cleantech companies that are looking to shift this trajectory. From grassroots organizations to government, BC is poised to be a significant global leader in this space.

This VEF event will explore the funding landscape of impact-driven companies, building and strengthening our climate solutions ecosystem. From transformational startups, whose paths to commercialization have never been more urgent, to government procurement strategies and the needs of our natural resource industries, change-makers will gather for an evening of insightful discussions and actionable outcomes.

The Next Generation of Company Building and Financing: What Does it Look Like and Who is Leading the Change?

In celebration of February Black History month and the BIPOC community, VEF is bringing together a leading group of change-makers across our regional investment landscape who are actively funding some of the most diverse, inclusive, equitable – and impactful companies in BC and beyond. With more than $4B in investment being infused into high growth companies, along with a dozen companies reaching $1B+ valuations, 2021 was an unprecedented year in BC.

What about entrepreneurial innovation and the investment landscape are starting to change the dynamic of what company growth looks like? Is access to capital really poised to be more equitable in the near future? On both sides of the equation, how do you find your alignment in what will become your most purposeful partner?
