Event Overview
The global business opportunities for clean technologies are growing exponentially as the world moves toward a more sustainable energy future. Canada is poised to be a leader in the global cleantech revolution, with Canadian companies positioned as world beaters. If there is one sector that has truly global growth prospects for Canada, it is cleantech. Entrepreneurs, financiers and governments—both federal and provincial—are increasingly realizing this growth and economic diversification potential.
Canada is blessed with a more diverse set of natural resources than any other nation on the planet. From mining to forestry to agriculture, we are uniquely positioned to help shape an emerging dialogue around resource efficiency, diversifying our manufacturing mix and foreign markets penetration in the process, prospering as a result. Whereas commodity suppliers previously competed purely on price and quantities, the new, clean economy is placing a premium on the smart, efficient consumption of resources and altering the global competitive landscape.
This SDTC Cleantech Focus event will explore how Canada’s combination of natural resources and leading cleantech innovation will help support the global supply chain, lead to more widespread clean technology adoption, and drive Canadian competitiveness and business growth over the coming decades.
