The Council for Clean & Reliable Energy (CCRE) in partnership with the University of Waterloo, a leading innovation centre, is hosting its second Annual Technology Innovation and Policy Forum on Thursday, November 9, 2017. Join us for this important event, bringing together policy makers, technology innovators, leading researchers and entrepreneurs. We address the alignment of climate policies with the need to accelerate cost-effective integration of emerging distributed resources at the distribution level.
The goal of the forum is to highlight the role of emerging disruptive technologies on the distribution sector business model arising from embedded distributed generation and storage on a large scale within the existing distribution network. The forum comprises panel presentations from leading industry, government experts and academics with extensive opportunities for networking. The event is a show-case of state-of-the-art technologies and emerging and innovations that highlight the potential for shaping the next generation smart energy solutions.

The University Of Waterloo Alternative Fuels Team (UWAFT) has been a leader in advanced vehicle technology development, education and awareness for nearly 20 years. Our mission is to develop and integrate ground breaking technology into production road vehicles while promoting sustainable transport through the community at large.
UWAFT works with a variety of automotive technologies and benefits candidates from many disciplines of engineering, including but not limited to; mechanical, electrical, controls, modelling, simulation, software, firmware, project management and manufacturing.
UWAFT is currently taking part in a competition called EcoCAR 3. EcoCAR 3 is the latest U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition (AVTC) series. As North America’s premier collegiate automotive engineering competition, EcoCAR 3 is challenging 16 North American university teams to redesign a Chevrolet Camaro to reduce its environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car. UWAFT is one of only two Canadian universities competing in EcoCAR 3, making the competition even more of a unique and exciting experience!

Salient Energy is commercializing a revolutionary new type of battery called the zinc-ion battery. The zinc-ion battery is safer, longer-lasting, and less expensive than lithium-ion batteries, and will be a complete replacement for lithium in stationary energy storage applications. Additionally, the zinc-ion battery is completely compatible with lithium-ion manufacturing, allowing it to retain its cost advantage over lithium-ion even as lithium-production continues to ramp up globally.

HITCH is a Smart Wireless Mesh Router & Predictive Content Caching Software Platform, that pre-downloads relevant online content once, so many users can access the same information quickly without an Internet connection. Globally, over 4 billion people don't have sustainable (available, affordable & accessible) broadband. Most of these users are un/underserved by existing coverage and service infrastructure; and live in rural and urban emerging markets. Thus, are denied the ability to benefit from real technology-driven economic growth. Flexfinity has developed HITCH – an enhanced smart wireless mesh router that enables communities automatically build, operate, and sustain self-contained Internet platforms; accelerating sustainable broadband in emerging markets.
