Partners
We build this with people, not for them.
BC + AI is a grassroots ecosystem — and ecosystems are made of relationships. We partner with universities, companies, communities, and regional hosts to put practical, responsible AI within reach of everyone in British Columbia. If that's the work you're in, there's a place for you here.
Ways to partner
Co-host
Run a room with us
Bring a venue, a theme, or an audience and we’ll bring the community. Vancouver AI meetups, regional nights, and special-interest gatherings.
Regional chapters
Start something local
Comox Valley, Surrey, Victoria, and beyond — partner to stand up a chapter where you are, with the playbook and people behind you.
Programs
Build a cohort
Co-design or host a certification, accelerator, or working group — from creative production to responsible-AI governance.
Institutions
Bridge to the ecosystem
Universities, labs, and orgs: a direct line into BC’s AI community for research, talent, and real-world collaboration.
Community partners
Some of this work already has names on it — organizations we build alongside, gathering by gathering.
Data for Good Vancouver
Civic data governance · nonprofit data literacy
Data for Good Vancouver connects data professionals with nonprofit organizations working for public benefit. Together, we are exploring how responsible AI depends on better data governance, consent, literacy, and community power.
Ethọ́s Lab Educational Society
Youth AI literacy · education · co-design
Ethọ́s Lab works with young people, families, educators, and community partners navigating a fast-changing digital future. Together, we are creating practical spaces for youth and educators to shape human-centred AI literacy.
Start a conversation
Tell us what you're building.
The best partnerships start with a real conversation, not a pitch deck. Reach out and we'll figure out where it fits. Ecosystem, not empire.
