​In May 2026, 15,000 global tech leaders will descend on Vancouver for Web Summit. ClimateGlobal is where global climate tech decision-makers go outside of the trade floor.

​As global trade corridors realign and climate policy shifts toward pragmatic execution, Canada is emerging as a critical bridge — connecting climate ventures between Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America.

​ClimateGlobal brings together the international operators, investors, and founders who are navigating this new landscape.

​Who This Event Is For

​This event brings together decision-makers facilitating market entry, cross-border partnerships, and international investment in climate tech:

• ​Climate tech founders scaling beyond their home markets

• ​International investors seeking opportunities in Canadian climate innovation

• ​Corporate innovation & business development leaders exploring partnerships and technology adoption

• ​Trade commissioners, economic development officers, and ecosystem builders

• ​Government and policy leaders enabling climate trade and investment

​We're convening the people who can open doors across borders.

​2026 Programming

​Panel: "LAUNCH: Going Global from Canada"

​How are Canadian climate ventures actually accessing international markets right now — and what's working?

​The conversation will cover which markets are genuinely accessible, how to land your first international pilot, attracting international investors, and the real mistakes founders make going global.

​LAND: "The Canadian Opportunity"

​Why are international climate ventures and investors choosing Canada as their North American entry point — and how do they actually do it?

​The conversation covers why Canada over direct US entry, dual use opportunities through ITB, accessible non-dilutive funding, Indigenous partnership advantages, and the real procurement landscape.

​Reverse Pitch Session (ClimateGlobal Signature Format)

​Investors, corporates, and buyers present what they're actively looking for. Founders listen, ask questions, and connect afterward.

​This format consistently rates as our highest-value session. Instead of pitching to a room, founders hear directly what international operators and investors need — then follow up strategically.

​Workshops, Roundtables & Structured Networking

​Small-group, topic-specific discussions led by trade experts, investors, and market specialists:

• ​EU market entry and regulatory navigation

• ​Japan corporate partnerships and Southeast Asia expansion

• ​Latin America climate trade opportunities

• ​Defense, infrastructure, and climate (the new funding landscape)

• ​Indigenous partnerships: frameworks and opportunities
