Demo Day: Cleantech Innovation in Oil & Gas

In January 2022, CRIN and Canada Cleantech Alliance launched the “Accelerating Cleantech Innovation in Oil & Gas” Program designed to help Canada’s cleantech innovators develop the knowledge, tools and skills required to design and implement cleantech innovations that will help reduce the oil & gas sector’s CO2 emissions.

Join us on June 16th to meet the cleantech innovators that participated in this program, learn about their unique technologies and explore potential partnership and investment opportunities.

The event will kick off with an engaging panel that will provide insight into cleantech innovation in oil and gas. This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities cleantech innovators may face when looking for investment and collaboration opportunities and what solutions are needed to drive us to a sustainable energy future.
