This event brings together local leaders, founders, and investors to share what’s working, what’s not, and where we go from here.
What to Expect:
• Real stories from founders building Climate Tech outside the big cities
• Insights on AI, energy, and ethical innovation
• First Nations perspectives on land and transition
• Funding pathways and investment-ready solutions
• Space to connect with others driving regional change
