BC Tech is working to ensure the growth of future anchor companies needed to strengthen and sustain the provincial tech sector. The BC Tech Hub is the place helping make that happen with a dedicated 26,000 square foot acceleration space where burgeoning tech anchors and enterprise companies have space to connect and learn from one another. The Hub is best suited for growth stage companies that are scaling rapidly (5+ employees or 1M+ in revenue). Since 2014, more than 70 companies, government agencies, and enterprise organizations have called the BC Tech Hub home. Past residents include RentMoola, Picatic, and Thinkific.
