What we’ve built. What comes next.

For one day, 300+ founders, investors, policymakers, researchers, and partners will come together in Vancouver for Converge 2026, NorthX’s flagship gathering of BC’s climate hard tech community.

As NorthX marks five years as a dedicated funder of Canadian climate hard tech, this year’s event looks at what the sector has built, and what it will take to build what comes next.

The program builds across the day as a single argument: why this work matters, what it has produced, and what capital and policy decisions will determine what gets built next.

​What to expect

​A morning keynote on the long game for climate hard tech investment. A moderated conversation with investors actively deploying into the sector. A fireside with founders who’ve made it to the other side. A closing conversation with a founder building what BC’s energy future actually runs on. And so much more.

​Join us November 25th!

• ​Doors open 9:00am
• ​Program begins 10:00am
• Networking reception from 3:30pm

Who is Converge for?

Converge brings together the people who are building, funding, and shaping the future of climate hard tech in BC and beyond. Whether you’re at the earliest stage of a hard problem or writing the cheques that make it possible, this is the place to be.

• For founders: You’ve bet everything on a problem worth solving. Come hear from founders who’ve been through the hard middle and what the people writing the next cheques are actually looking for.
• For investors: Canada is producing real companies at commercial scale. Get a read on where investment is moving globally, hear directly from others who are actively deploying into the sector, and meet the founders who are ready for their next round.
• For policymakers and partners: The window to establish Canada as a global leader in climate hard tech is open. Come understand where the sector stands, what it needs, and what’s at stake if we get it right.
