powerNEXT Industry Matchmaking Series

Get Matched with Industry in the Power Sector

Registration is now open for the 2024-25 Industry Matchmaking Series

powerNEXT, Foresight's power technology network, is hosting an industry matchmaking event on September 26th at 9:00 am PT focusing on power tech SMEs and power generation sector end-users. This is the first event in our 2024 matchmaking series.

This series of matchmaking sessions will draw on the previously established small group reverse pitch format, with a panel of end users or independent power producers and utilities bringing a targeted sector focus to each event, including power generation, transmission, distribution and energy storage. 

These matchmaking sessions aim to build connections between Canadian power technology SMEs and key audiences for their products and services, as well as help these audiences better understand innovation cycles and startup needs. 

Our SME-industry matchmaking program is supported by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).

Topics and Dates:

Energy Storage - September 26, 2024

Generation - October 23, 2024

Smart Grid - November 27, 2024

Role of AI - January 22, 2025

Each includes a 60-minute panel discussion from 9 to 10 am PT.
