Defining pathways to achieve your emission-reduction and circular-economy targets – as well as researching, identifying and connecting with cleantech suppliers – can be time- and resource-intensive. This project offers a unique opportunity for Canadian organizations to leverage the expertise of some of Europe’s most well-known sustainability and cleantech experts – at no cost. As part of the free package, you will receive: - Complimentary innovation challenge definition and promotion: We would work with you to understand your pain points and solution needs and distill them into a specific innovation challenge statement. We would then promote the challenge to proven European solution providers. Pitches take place in the context of prominent industry events designed to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon and circular economy, including the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF2021), Destination Net Zero: Nature and Bioeconomy Days and Destination Net Zero: GLOBE Forum 2022.
- Complimentary identification of European SMEs & technologies relevant to your interests: Following your review and selection, we would arrange for up to four companies to present on and answer questions about their solutions.
- Complimentary brand visibility: Your challenge will be promoted on the lcbacanada.com website and through the European Union network partners, offering strong complimentary brand visibility.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by participating.
