BC is gaining a global positive reputation for tokenized assets and blockchain technologies. We can become the “Blockchain (D)Center” of the World by creating the pre-conditions for a healthy distributed digital marketplace.
The Challenge: Establishing BC as a Global Emerging Tech Hub
It is a priority for the BC Government to establish BC as a global hub for emerging technologies.
The Opportunity: Realizing the Potential of Blockchain in BC
It is estimated that up to 10% of global GDP will be stored using blockchain technology.
Our Goal – Advancing Good Business Practices in the Blockchain Economy
Let’s get together and co-create a thriving token economy, and blockchain eco-system in BC.
Why get involved?
Educate. Spotlight. Co-Create.
The BC Blockchain Forum is a private/public sector initiative founded by DigitalFutures to advance good business practice in blockchain technologies and the associated creation of digital assets. We believe these to be foundational to the adoption and utilization of blockchain technologies in British Columbia, and Canada-wide.
We achieve this through advocacy, education and roundtables with blockchain entrepreneurs, startups, investors, corporates, educational institutions, service providers, and government bodies.

Bitcoin & Blockchain and Cryptographic technologies are fuelling one of the fastest growing industries in the world. To kick off our series of events we explored why blockchain technology – a truly open, distributed, global platform – will fundamentally change what we can achieve online, how we do it, and who can participate.
We were delighted to host our special guests Thomas Linder (MME) and Lukas Sieber (Greater Zurich economic agency) from Switzerland at our event. They addressed how Switzerland has become a friendly business and regulatory landscape that is arguably the leading country hosting blockchain ventures and TGEs (including Ethereum, a venture that originated in Canada).
