Our Goal

Our Goal

Global warming is a global problem.

While we have amazing solutions, people, and resources in each region, we can do even better if we combine forces.

Our goal is to connect the dots.
A solution might have a better chance somewhere else. A startup might get more funding in a different region.

We are in this together.

Let’s work as one force to bring a better future to the generations to come.

  • Shannon Bard

    PhD Climate Innovation Leader

    Under the leadership of Hiroki Kudo, Vancouver Impact has consistently organized exceptional events, and I have had the honour of participating as both a moderator and panellist. As a climate solutions innovator, I have observed the need for more opportunities to bring the climate impact community together to exchange ideas and Vancouver Impact events have helped bridge that gap. I am excited about the event's global expansion and look forward to welcoming participants to Vancouver, Canada.

    Jamie Moran

    Chief Marketing Officer, ClimateDoor

    It’s great to work with Vancouver Impact and Hiroki on this epic event. I’ve been to a few events that Hiroki has organized, and was inspired by the quality of people and speakers who attended. I even found my future business partners at one - Vancouver needs more in-person climate tech events, and Hiroki is the right person to build them.
