Meet BC’s top emerging tech startups at the 2026 NVBC Demo Day, presented by RBCx.

Why attend?

• ​See pitches that usually happen behind closed doors. Watch select Top 25 companies from the 2026 New Ventures BC Competition pitch their startups live, outside of the judging room, for one exclusive evening.
• ​Get an early look at high-potential ventures. Discover what they’re building, how they’re gaining traction, and where they’re headed before they’re on the broader investor radar.
• ​Connect with BC’s innovation ecosystem. Meet investors, founders, and leaders from across the province.

​Are You an Investor? Attendance is by Application Only

​To create a curated, high-value experience for both founders and funders, attendance is limited to investors and NVBC volunteers. Investors are invited to apply via a short questionnaire. Capacity is limited.
