Meet the Team
Innovate BC’s office is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful to work with innovators from across the traditional and unceded territories covering all regions of British Columbia. Our mandate drives us to seek meaningful collaboration opportunities with local indigenous communities and ensure that British Columbians in all regions of the province can benefit from a thriving, sustainable, and inclusive innovation economy.
