Our thesis

Vancouver is North America's fastest-growing tech employment hub, rich with talent and a burgeoning frontier tech ecosystem. Yet, without the essential investment and infrastructure, we risk being left behind as global leaders emerge elsewhere. We're too siloed, too quiet, too cautious. Frontier technology will define the future, and Vancouver has the potential to lead. Frontier Collective is committed to making this a reality.

Our mission is to transform this region into a Top 5 Global Hub for frontier tech by 2030, driving investment, fostering partnerships, and empowering local innovators.

Starting local, going global

Now

Vancouver is a global gateway for innovation

Rich in diverse talent, Vancouver is positioned at the crossroads of frontier technologies, and primed for growth. Its unique blend of creativity, tech, and cultural influence makes it the perfect launchpad for ideas that can scale globally.
