Investors seeking direct exposure to the companies building and applying artificial intelligence can engage with management teams from seven firms at the AI & Tech Virtual Investor Conference on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences and marketed by B2i Digital as an official partner, the online event spans semiconductors, data centers, battery materials, AI-driven fintech, retail technology, and online marketplaces, giving participants a rare opportunity to question executives live. The conference matters because it bypasses traditional gatekeepers, allowing any registered investor to request a virtual meeting with a presenting company's management team. As David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, noted, "Everyone has an opinion on AI. Fewer have heard directly from the companies behind the chips, the data centers, the power and the battery materials that make it run."
The presenting companies reflect the AI ecosystem's full stack. Infineon Technologies AG makes semiconductors for power systems and the Internet of Things, targeting decarbonization and digitalization. Carrier Connect Data Solutions Inc. is rolling up Tier II and Tier III data centers that serve AI companies, enterprises, and small businesses in Vancouver, Ottawa, and Perth. Blockmate Ventures Inc. builds and supports early-stage businesses in AI, energy, and digital infrastructure. First Phosphate Corp. is developing a vertically integrated, mine-to-market supply chain for lithium iron phosphate batteries in North America, serving energy storage, data centers, robotics, mobility, and national security. Perpetuals.com Ltd. pairs proprietary AI with regulated market infrastructure for consumer trading and white-label services. INEO Tech Corp., based in Surrey, British Columbia, builds connected entrance systems for retailers, combining electronic article surveillance, digital displays, edge processing, and cloud software. Articore Group Ltd., founded as Redbubble in 2006, operates online marketplaces Redbubble, TeePublic, and Frankly Wearing, plus the creator platform Dashery.
Each company will present live for 30 minutes, followed by audience Q&A. Replays will be available on the B2i Digital and OTC Markets YouTube channels. The schedule on October 1 begins at 9:30 AM ET with Perpetuals.com Ltd., then Articore Group Ltd. at 10:00 AM, Infineon Technologies AG at 10:30 AM, First Phosphate Corp. at 11:00 AM, Blockmate Ventures Inc. at 11:30 AM, Carrier Connect Data Solutions Inc. at 1:00 PM, and INEO Tech Corp. at 1:30 PM.

The conference's significance lies in its accessibility.
