Canadian clean technology is a critical ingredient in how our oil and gas and power sectors will succeed in the global transition to a low-carbon, low footprint future. What are the challenges that our energy producers and distributors are facing, and what solutions offer the greatest potential? Where should Alberta’s clean tech entrepreneurs and investors be focusing their efforts? How can our large corporates and our entrepreneurs work better together to make Alberta a global leader in clean tech?
On the shoulder of Energy Disruptors Unite, ACTia is convening a breakfast panel featuring:
- Andrée-Lise Méthot, Founder and Managing Partner of Cycle Capital Management, the most important cleantech investment platform in Canada.
- Joy Romero, VP Technology & Innovation at Canadian Natural Resources Limited, representing the Clean Resources Innovation Network, an initiative to make Canada a global leader in producing clean hydrocarbon energy from source to end use.
