À propos de cette carte

Jeunes pousses et entreprises essaimées, financement, programmes du campus, clubs étudiants, laboratoires de recherche et événements récurrents de l'écosystème de l'UBC. Inclusion fondée sur des critères, sans classement ni compte.

Elle est gratuite et publique, et répond sur une seule page à quatre questions : qui bâtit des entreprises à UBC, qui finance les projets issus du campus, où les étudiants peuvent s'impliquer, et quels événements récurrents valent le déplacement.

Tout ce qui figure ici provient d'informations publiques. Chaque fiche indique les sources publiques qui établissent son lien avec UBC, et l'ensemble des données est publié en data.json à chaque mise à jour, sans compte requis. Les définitions des champs et des valeurs sont publiées de la même façon, en schema.json.

Les fiches sont rédigées dans la langue de leurs sources publiques; seule l'interface est traduite. Traduire une description sourcée reviendrait à publier une affirmation que personne n'a faite.

Ce qui est répertorié

L'inclusion repose sur des critères. Il n'y a ni note, ni classement, ni inscription payante. Une jeune pousse est admissible si elle remplit toutes ces conditions :

  • C'est une entreprise technologique : un produit, et non une agence ou un cabinet de services-conseils.
  • Elle a un lien substantiel avec l'UBC : étudiants actuels de l'UBC, diplômés ayant fondé l'entreprise moins de cinq ans après leurs études, professeurs ou personnel de l'UBC, ou une entreprise bâtie sur une propriété intellectuelle de l'UBC sous licence ou issue d'un laboratoire de l'UBC.
  • Elle est active : le site fonctionne et il existe des preuves publiques d'activité au cours des douze derniers mois.

Il n'y a ni taille ni financement minimum. Les fondateurs seuls, sans revenus, sont admissibles. Une exclusion n'est jamais un jugement de qualité : toute entreprise écartée peut voir exactement quel critère elle ne remplit pas.

Ce que couvre chaque section

  • Financement: Du capital réellement accessible depuis le campus : des fonds dont le mandat vise l'UBC ou ses étudiants, et des investisseurs externes ayant soutenu de façon documentée des projets issus de l'UBC.
  • Accélérateurs et programmes du campus: Accélérateurs, incubateurs et programmes de cours offerts ou accueillis par l'UBC. Innovation UBC a absorbé entrepreneurship@UBC et le University-Industry Liaison Office; ses programmes sont donc répertoriés séparément.
  • Clubs et associations étudiantes: Organisations dirigées par des étudiants qui montrent publiquement une activité pendant l'année universitaire en cours. Les équipes de compétition en génie sont exclues; les clubs de logiciel, de produit et d'entrepreneuriat sont inclus.
  • Événements récurrents: Séries récurrentes seulement. Les événements ponctuels sont exclus parce qu'ils sont périmés dès qu'ils se terminent.
  • Jeunes pousses et entreprises essaimées: Entreprises ayant un lien substantiel avec l'UBC : fondées par des étudiants, par des diplômés moins de cinq ans après leurs études, par des professeurs, ou bâties sur de la recherche de l'UBC sous licence. La plupart des entreprises essaimées établies ont depuis longtemps quitté le campus.
  • Laboratoires et groupes de recherche: Groupes de recherche actifs dirigés par des professeurs de l'UBC, repris intégralement des répertoires de laboratoires des départements et des instituts. Les domaines de recherche suivent les mêmes secteurs que la section des jeunes pousses; aucun classement, aucune sélection de laboratoires célèbres.

Ce qui manque volontairement

Pas d'offres d'emploi, pas d'évaluations, pas de fil d'actualités, pas de comptes, et aucune entreprise d'autres campus. Les investisseurs providentiels ne sont pas répertoriés à titre personnel. Les données sur les salaires et les rondes de financement sont exclues parce qu'elles se périment rapidement.

La mise à jour

Les propositions sont lues et appliquées à la main, par lots. Toute fiche vérifiée il y a plus de six mois fait l'objet d'une vérification, et les fiches des clubs et des événements sont entièrement revues au début de chaque année universitaire, car le renouvellement des comités est ce qui périme discrètement une carte de campus. Les demandes de retrait sont la seule exception : venant d'une entreprise ou d'une personne répertoriée, elles sont traitées dans les sept jours, sans poser de questions. L'exactitude passe avant l'exhaustivité : une petite carte exacte vaut mieux qu'une grande carte périmée.

Les 235 fiches ont été vérifiées pour la dernière fois le August 4, 2026.

Figurer sur la carte ou corriger une fiche

Le formulaire de soumission (en anglais) est la voie d'entrée : une nouvelle fiche, une correction ou une demande de retrait. Indiquez la source publique de chaque affirmation. Tout ce qui est soumis devient public dès sa soumission.

Qui la tient à jour

Josh Syer, qui étudie à l'UBC. Il s'agit d'un projet communautaire, et non d'une publication universitaire; il n'est ni affilié à University of British Columbia ni approuvé par cette université. Ce n'est pas un outil de repérage d'investissements et il n'alimente aucune base de données privée. Les données sont sous licence CC BY 4.0 et réutilisables dès aujourd'hui. Le code est sous licence MIT; le site est construit à partir de ce dépôt.

Une carte parmi une famille

Cette carte fait partie d'une famille, une par campus, construite par les scouts de Front Row Ventures selon la même norme : six sections, une source publique pour chaque fiche, une inclusion fondée sur des critères et des données ouvertes. Le FRV Campus Tech Map les rassemble. Chaque carte est l'œuvre de son scout, publiée à sa propre adresse.
