Variational AI will take part in Invest in BC 2026, the 11th annual conference presented by Lumira Ventures and hosted by Life Sciences BC, on November 3 and 4, 2026 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Invest in BC anchors Life Sciences Investment Week (November 2 to 5), a program of curated events bringing over 100 investors to Vancouver alongside entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders. The conference includes keynotes, panel discussions, investor-ready company pitches, and partnering through the BIO Partnering™ system.
As a Vancouver company, this is our home venue. Variational AI is Canada’s only independent generative small-molecule platform, and our work with partners including Merck/MSD, Rakovina Therapeutics, and 3C Therapeutics is built and run from British Columbia.
