Climatedoor's Climateglobal 2026 To Feature Keynote By BC Minister Of Energy And Climate Solutions Adrian Dix

ClimateGlobal runs alongside Web Summit Vancouver, where more than 15,000 global technology leaders are expected. The event is the dedicated convening point for international energy, agriculture and critical resource decision-makers operating outside the main trade floor.

Minister Dix's 3pm fireside chat will be moderated by Chad Rickaby, Chief Executive Officer of ClimateDoor. The conversation will examine British Columbia's role in the realignment of global climate trade corridors and the province's strategy for connecting Canadian innovation to markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

"The corridors that matter for climate technology are no longer just north-south,” said Chad Rickaby, Chief Executive Officer of ClimateDoor.“Canadian ventures are scaling into Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and international ventures are choosing Canada as their North American beachhead. ClimateGlobal is where the people facilitating those deals actually meet, and Minister Dix's leadership at the keynote signals how seriously British Columbia is taking that opportunity."

Programming

ClimateGlobal 2026 is structured around two main panels. "LAUNCH: Going Global from Canada" brings together founders with international traction, global investors active in Canada, and trade experts with tactical knowledge of EU, APAC, and LATAM market entry. "LAND: The Canadian Opportunity" features government, policy, and institutional voices examining why international climate ventures and investors choose Canada as their North American entry point.

Additional programming includes reverse pitch sessions with more than 20 Canadian and international investors, including WUTIF Capital, NorthX, Diagram, Marunouchi Innovation, Pomona Impact Foundation, Renewal Funds, Panache Ventures, Evok Innovations, ENEOS Americas, JETRO, METI. Breakout sessions cover Indigenous-led market access, cross-border deal structuring, and capital stack engineering for international expansion.

Further announcements from ClimateDoor's portfolio are expected at the event.
