A world-class, invite-only summit unlike any other. Frontier Summit 2025, Oct 21–23, Vancouver. Global leaders changing the world, unique settings made for real connection @frontierco.bsky.social Apply: lnkd.in/g6nCWjnn

In a tech revolution, it’s not the innovation alone that matters, it’s the people, the collisions, the clarity of what’s next. Vancity Innovation House wasn’t just the talk of Web Summit Vancouver. It was a shift. A global movement, born in Vancouver. 🎥 Watch the wrap video ⬇️

One day. 2,700+ people. Endless collisions. Vancity Innovation House lit up Web Summit Vancouver—bringing founders, funders & creatives together for frontier innovation. Panels, demos, music, $20K pitch comp, real connection. And we’re just getting started.

What a way to cap off NYC!

Day 1 of Beyond the Frontier NYC at @newlabglobal.bsky.social was electric. In a city where attention is hard to earn, we built a room full of real trust, bold ideas & momentum. From AI ethics to mobility to cognitive tech—this wasn't just talk. We started building the future, together.

Still riding the high from the first-ever #SXSWLondon. Our fireside wasn’t just about AI—it was about building bold ecosystems for an age of urgency. If we build with outdated models, we risk losing the human edge. Innovation must be intentional, connected, and brave.

Canada’s at an inflection point. At #NACOSummit in Ottawa, our CEO @dburgar.bsky.social called it out: We need to be less Canadian in our mindset. More bold. More global. More urgent. The world isn’t waiting — and neither should we. Let’s build like the future depends on it.

Big ideas. Bold city. We’re heading to NYC this June for Beyond the Frontier — 250+ leaders in AI, biotech, climate, and deep tech. June 11–12 @ Newlab + Microsoft Soho. Join us: lnkd.in/gThHySd

We’re heartbroken by the tragedy that took place at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver. Our thoughts are with the families, the Filipino community, and everyone impacted. We love this city — and we mourn with it today.

Something is coming. Born at the edge of innovation. Landing soon in one of the world’s greatest cities. Stay close. Get ready 🚀

Still buzzing from TED2025. A global gathering of bold ideas, deep humanity, and radical imagination. Left feeling recharged, challenged, and more hopeful than I’ve felt in a long time. Let’s lean into our humanity! #TED2025 #HumanityReimagined

Great to be back at TED, right here in Vancouver! Just one day in and already feeling the incredible energy, inspiration, and connection that make this conference so powerful. This year’s theme, Humanity Reimagined, couldn’t be more timely—or more needed.

Day 1, here we go!!! #TED2025

On Fri, we hosted , Future of Innovation Roundtable at City Hall. We brought together founders, investors, & ecosystem leaders in AI, biotech, clean tech, robotics & more— leaders like MLA Gavin Dew & City Dep. Mayor @mikeklassen.bsky.social to talk candidly on what’s broken & how to fix it

Innovation hubs are the future of vibrant, resilient economies. But most of them are getting them wrong ie MaRs in Toronto… Here’s why, and what actually works: www.linkedin.com/posts/danbur...

Innovation won’t come from coworking desks or Zoom calls. It comes from intentional spaces where creativity, connection & community collide. We’re pushing to build that in Vancouver. cozygirlkristine.substack.com/p/sxsw-sessi...

B.C.’s 2025 budget fails to prioritize innovation and growth. A record $10.9B deficit, no major investments, and a passive approach won’t future-proof our economy. We need bold action, not just contingency plans.

It’s almost time! 🚀 One week until Frontiers of Innovation Day at #SXSW2025. Get ready for bold ideas, top innovators, and next-gen tech shaping the future. See you in Austin! 🔥

BC’s innovation economy is at a crossroads. Alberta is making bold moves, winning on talent & investment—while BC risk falling behind. @dburgar ft in @the_logic It’s time to act. We have the talent, but we need bold policies & investment to stay ahead. thelogic.co/news/alberta...

We had an incredible time at the Western Angel Investment Summit in Victoria. @dburgar.bsky.social took the stage to call for bold leadership, BC has the talent & industries to lead globally, but we need to take bigger risks, back frontier tech & cut bureaucracy to make it happen

The Innovation economy isn’t waiting for BC to catch up. We are globally competitive. But decades of bureaucracy & underfunding are holding us back. We’re bridging BC with the world. Will BC step up, or keep playing small? @dburgar.bsky.social full post: www.linkedin.com/posts/danbur...

Great news! Claudio Rojas CEO of NACO joins Frontier Collective as a Strategic Advisor! He leads 4,000+ angel investors who’ve invested $1.66B into 2,000+ companies—driving Canada’s innovation economy. We’re also proud to partner for their Summit in Ottawa (April 29-30)—apply here: nacosummit.com

Global Capital, Global Strategy… BC is falling behind in investment into innovation. That’s why we’re leading a delegation to SXSW—where real deals happen. It’s time to double down! @KateWilsonSays @cdntechjournal lnkd.in/gV6nv8H5

BC has talent, global reach & economic potential—but our government’s inaction keeps holding us back. Trump’s tariffs are here, and while Canada is stepping up, BC still lacks bold action. techcouver.com/2025/02/03/b...

While Trump builds tariffs, real leaders build bridges. Trade tensions may rise, but friendship and economic collaboration endure. Meet one of the unsung heroes keeping US-Canada ties strong, meet my friend Will Fox. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 www.linkedin.com/posts/danbur...

Excited to welcome Sonia Kandola, Director of Government Relations at Lime, to Frontier Collective’s advisory team! Sonia’s expertise in transportation, sustainability, and policy—like deploying Vancouver’s e-scooter program—will help us bridge innovation and impactful policy.
