IRENA Innovation Day: Canada will take place virtually on 23rd and 24th March 2022. The event is organised together with Natural Resources Canada.

This event will connect a diverse mix of experts, policymakers, and innovators from Canada with the international IRENA community for a two-way exchange about challenges and innovative solutions to decarbonise power and end-use sectors. It will offer Canadian representatives and companies the opportunity to showcase successes, highlight challenges, learn from each other’s experience and explore how innovative solutions can help meet the national renewable targets under Paris Agreement. For countries and companies from further afield, this event will provide the opportunity to virtually meet key local actors, showcase work and learn from the Canadian experience.

This Innovation Day in Canada will focus on innovative solutions to decarbonise the power sector, with a specific focus on mini-grids of the future and innovative hydropower solutions for a clean, reliable and flexible grid, and on pathways to decarbonise end-use sectors of industry and transport. The discussions will delve deeper into the topics of technology and processes, enabling frameworks, business models, and market readiness for wide-scale deployment and increased use of renewables and enabling technologies.
