The World to NYC: The Best Global Startups in Urban Sustainability and Innovation Tech, Sept 29-Oct 1, 2014

 

At the Canadian Technology Accelerator, we’re looking forward to the conversations, thinking and business partnerships that will come out of the W2NYC Global Industry Challenge program taking place in New York from Sept 29-Oct 1, hosted by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and New York International.

This kind of high-profile event is important for advancing cleantech, sustainability and the global “smart city” – causes we care about, as do the companies in our CTA CleanTech program.

W2NYC is inviting the world’s most innovative companies in urban sustainability and innovation tech to New York City where they will connect with local stakeholders, potential investors and a network of advisors.  Companies taking part include those specializing in:

  • Mobility & Transportation
  • Energy, including clean generation, smart grid, and efficiency
  • Intelligent infrastructure

 

Participants will explore the latest industry trends, present and pitch their companies, and pick up valuable advice on how to make it in NYC.

For three days, through roundtable discussions and fireside chats, visiting companies will connect with local founders and CEOs, other tech entrepreneurs, investors, academic institutions, community groups, government agencies, energy providers, and large corporations.

The topics of conversation? Urban efficiency, sustainability and innovation – and how the city, its businesses and citizens can capitalize on the sectors’ huge potential.

We hope to see you there!
