Velocity: London x Canada at Web Summit Vancouver, May 12
We are delighted to invite you to Velocity: London x Canada at Web Summit Vancouver, co-hosted by the British Consul General, Tom Codrington alongside London & Partners, the Department for Business & Trade and Taylor Wessing.
This is an invitation-only intimate reception for founders, investors, scale-ups, and ecosystem leaders who are building and backing the next wave of technology on both sides of the Atlantic.
London is Europe's leading frontier innovation city. And the UK and Canada are more aligned than ever - on AI, quantum, deep tech, life sciences and green innovation, and the kind of frontier innovation that actually changes things. At Web Summit Vancouver, we're bringing the right people together to talk about what comes next.
Hear from founders who have navigated this journey and meet the people who can help you do the same.
Guests will also receive a personal invitation to London Tech Week 2026.
Come curious. Leave connected.
Expect good company, good conversation - and yes, London gin.
