Vancouver boasts a clean economy known around the world for innovations in clean technology, clean energy, green building, and circularity.

Vancouver has always been a place of ideas — a hub where entrepreneurs, innovation and creativity intersect. “Progressive” and “forward-thinking” are words typically used to describe the city.

As countries compete for the brightest and best, all-star talent is increasingly top of mind for entrepreneurs and businesses alike — talent that’s educated, skilled in niche areas and globally minded. Many companies are drawn to Vancouver for this very reason.

Today’s global connectedness only reinforces Vancouver’s deep links to its diverse, multicultural roots — including ties to local indigenous cultures, Europe and Asia. Vancouver embodies multiculturalism in every sense.

Consistently ranked one of the most liveable cities in the world, Vancouver is celebrated for its striking natural beauty, ready access to beaches and the outdoors, mild year-round climate and steadfast commitment to public transit and other active transportation modes including walking and cycling.
