Additionally, investors from Element 8, the leading U.S. cleantech angel investor network, will be joining this event to meet with and evaluate BC-based companies during the championship. Element 8 members have invested more than U.S. $1 million in BC-based clean technology companies. With the world-class innovation being developed in the province, they are seeking out new investment opportunities on their 2-day mission to Surrey and the Metro Vancouver region.

Participants will have the opportunity to test drive clean energy vehicles like the BMW i-8 and the all new Fuel-cell powered Hyundai Tucson SUV around the Surrey City Centre area.
