2023 Energy Forum: Competing in the Age of Decarbonization

OVERVIEW

CME’s Energy Forum is back in-person on June 27th for the first time since 2020!

2023 will be remembered as the year Ontario’s low-carbon industrial strategy truly came together.

Building on a historic string of investment in our EV, clean steel and critical mineral sectors, provincial and federal governments have rolled out new program incentives to support grid resiliency, leverage the value of our clean electricity grid and accelerate adoption of new manufacturing technologies.

As Ontario moves with its long-awaited Advanced Manufacturing Council and the Electrification and Energy Transition panel, join industry and government leaders to discuss:

How can you benefit from this policy shift to improve efficiency and profitability in your business TODAY?

How can governments, private capital and utilities work together to support the next wave of manufacturing decarbonization in a way that is economically sustainable?
