Last year, we worked with a diverse group of strategic partners to host the SingularityU Summit in Edmonton, AB. Located in the heart of western Canada, Edmonton is Alberta’s capital city and is home to over 1.3 million people. While various cities in Canada have been recognized for their innovative initiatives, Edmonton is one that is leading the way in AI, big data, and healthcare. The city is made up of like-minded, enterprising business people, who are technologically driven and entrepreneurial-fuelled.

For me, the idea of a Canada embracing technology and not resisting it with fear, is what needs to happen, this idea of a mindset shift. I think we’re at the best place, this is ground zero for technology.
Be prepared to learn how the growth of exponential and disruptive technologies will impact your company, your career and your life.
The SingularityU Canada Summit will inspire Canadian businesses to lead in the transformation and growth of a globally competitive, clean economy through exponential technologies. As a founding member, we are thrilled to help Canadian businesses to better understand and profit from these opportunities.
My experience at SU in Silicon Valley was thought-provoking and inspiring. I spent time with incredibly smart, forward-thinking innovators and business leaders who looked at a world with limitless possibilities fuelled by visionary ideas. Bringing SU to Canada will enable dreamers, innovators and leaders the opportunity to collaborate on bold ideas that will shape the future.
