This September, FoodRevolution, The Pass and VC Village are bringing their communities together in Vancouver to experience what’s being built next. Taste a product before it reaches the shelf. Touch a biomaterial still being perfected in an R&D lab. Experience a new technology for the first time. Discover a new variety growing in trial rows. Meet the personalities behind the innovation. The FoodRevolution Innovation Lounge brings founders, investors and industry leaders into the same room to get closer to the products, ideas and people shaping the future — to taste, touch, ask questions and discover something before it reaches the mainstream. Some of what you’ll experience is ready for market. Some is still being tested, grown or perfected. That’s the point. Come curious. Meet the community. Experience what’s next. September 17, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 p.m. Gastown, Vancouver Registration is required. Space is limited.

Every Thursday at DCTRL (328 West Hastings) For the latest information, see [Vancouver Crypto Events · Events Calendar](https://luma.com/yvr)
