By investing Discovery Parks’ assets in startups focused on the intersection between life sciences and technology, Nimbus aims to improve health through Canadian-led innovation.
Since 1979, Discovery Parks has been on a mission to see technology become the most productive, economically important and socially relevant industry in British Columbia. Through its unique for-profit model, originally specializing in commercial real estate and now focusing on investment, all of the profits gained by Discovery Parks go directly back into the tech industry — either via Nimbus Synergies and further investment in BC-based technology or through the Discovery Foundation and its programs educating entrepreneurs and mentoring businesses. Discovery Parks has provided homes to over 250 companies, housed in 16 buildings, developed in 8 locations while also transferring over $21 million dollars back into BC’s Innovation Community.
