Meet The Startups Defining the Future of Innovation in BC

We invite the investor community to join us for Demo Day 2026, presented by RBCx.

This event brings together companies from the Top 25 of the New Ventures BC Competition, presented by Innovate BC, and investors from across BC.

Get an exclusive first-look at BC’s next generation of top-emerging ventures, watch them pitch live, meet the founders behind the startup—and connect with fellow investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders from BC’s innovation ecosystem.

While startups typically pitch behind closed doors, Demo Day changes that narrative. This annual event brings investors into the room to hear first-hand what each venture is building, how they’re doing it, and the momentum they’re gaining.
