Are you ready to explore new and innovative technologies and connect with global business opportunities?

Join the Trade Commissioner Service and thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, and tech leaders at Web Summit Vancouver 2026, taking place from May 11 to 14, 2026, in British Columbia! Web Summit Vancouver is a major gathering for the global tech ecosystem, bringing together a diverse group of participants from around the world.

Through the Trade Commissioner Service business program at Web Summit Vancouver, we will support export-ready Canadian companies looking to meet international buyers, investors, and strategic partners.

The offsite program adjacent to the conference centre will include:

  • curated B2B matchmaking meetings with global buyers and investors;

  • Two Export Cafés, offering one-on-one discussions with Trade Commissioners from international markets, as well as provincial and federal government partners; and

  • on-the-ground support throughout the event.

Participants will also benefit from:

  • valuable market intelligence and insights;

  • increased visibility for their product or service;

  • opportunities to pitch to targeted audiences; and

  • direct support in navigating international expansion.

Last year, this program helped Canadian companies secure over 200 high‑impact business meetings—leading to new partnerships and valuable international leads. Don't miss this chance to position your company on the global stage!

Date: May 11‑14, 2026
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
