The Anchorpoint Fire Tech Summit 2026
Breaking the Silos in Wildfire Innovation
June 11, 2026
Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)
Wildfire risk is rising across Canada and around the world.
Technology, data, and new approaches to resilience will shape how we respond.
The Anchorpoint Fire Tech Summit brings together the leaders building that future.
Public sector. Private sector. Insurance. Investors. Innovators.
One room. One day. One goal:
Accelerating wildfire resilience through technology.
Why This Summit
Wildfire is no longer just an environmental issue.It is a national economic challenge impacting:
communities
energy and utilities infrastructure
insurance markets
forestry and natural resources
public safety and emergency management
At the same time, a rapidly growing ecosystem of fire tech companies, data platforms, AI systems, modeling tools, and detection technologies is emerging to help address the problem.But these solutions often struggle to reach deployment because the stakeholders that must work together rarely meet in the same room.The Anchorpoint Fire Tech Summit is designed to change that.This event brings together:
Government and emergency management leaders
Fire tech founders and innovators
Investors focused on climate and resilience technology
Insurance and reinsurance executives
Utilities and infrastructure operators
Forestry and resource companies
Researchers and policy experts
Our goal is to connect the people building solutions with the institutions that need them.
