Green Drinks Toronto

The 3rd Wednesday of each Month at

Grace O'Malleys 14 Duncan Street

6:00pm to 8:30pm

We will have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, students, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always... a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.

These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity.

Green Energy Southeast Asia Export Forum

Over the past decade, Ontario has developed a sophisticated sustainable energy ecosystem comprised of technology manufacturers and distributors, consulting engineers, energy consultants, a variety of contractors, finance companies, insurance services, and other related ancillaries.

Ontario has also become a leader in developing both on-grid and off-grid renewable power solutions - including solar photovoltaic, wind turbine and hydroelectric facilities - with industry leaders like Canadian Solar, Brookfield Renewable Energy and SkyPower.

Southeast Asia is a diverse region, and is comprised of 10 countries: Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, which together form the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). The region has a strong value proposition - taken as a whole, it is the seventh largest economy in the world and is projected to become the fourth largest economy by 2050.

ASEAN co-operates in a number of Cleantech-related areas: (1) nature conservation and biodiversity; (2) transboundary environmental pollution (mainly due to Indonesia’s slash-and-burn clearing of vegetation for palm oil, and pulp and paper plantations); (3) environmental education; (4) environmentally sound or minimally impactful technologies; (5) chemicals and waste; (6) coastal and marine environment; (7) water resources management; and (8) climate change.

OSEA in partnership with MEDJCT has organized a forum to help introduce sustainable energy technology companies to the rapidly growing energy hungry Southeast Asian market.  Several

of these nations (Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore & Vietnam) together with Canada are members of the recently ratified  The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

Attend the forum to learn more about real time opportunities in ASEAN and hear about best practice from companies that have seen significant success in the region. The networking reception will also include representatives from the ASEAN consulates based in Toronto.
