At the heart of Metro Vancouver, Surrey is rising from the ground up as Canada’s next metropolitan centre. The provincial and federal governments have invested over $1.5 billion into long-term innovation programs, university research, and infrastructure in Surrey over the last 5 years, including Surrey City Centre’s SkyTrain rapid transit extension. These investments are transforming Surrey City Centre into a tech hub where collaborations between industry, government, and academia are spurring new inventions that harness the power of next generation technologies.
TECH TALENT THAT CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL THINKING
Our University District, anchored by Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, is producing critical thinkers and engineers that challenge the status quo and chart new paths to innovation. Our problem solvers push against the grain to gain new heights in STEM, creative arts, mechatronics, and more.
Home to Western Canada’s first sustainable environmental engineering program, the provincial government has also recently invested
$17M into building BC’s first quantum algorithms institute in Surrey City Centre.
