Surrey's Unique Advantage
Situated in the heart of Metro Vancouver and a stone's throw away from the region's two largest downtowns, our uniqueness lies in our large and diverse geography, from agricultural and bare land to waterways and the region's largest road network. We are also outside the restricted airspace adjacent to the Boundary Bay Airport and Vancouver International Airport, offering large airspace parcels with the potential for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) testing.
Tap into Provincial Pilot Funding
Qualifying innovations from BC-based small and medium-sized businesses can access up to $200,000 through Innovate BC's Fast Pilot Program. This program helps regional SMEs design, build and operate a pilot plant or small demonstration of their technology in real-world conditions.
