Vancouver, BC, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Local elected officials, business and industrial sector leaders and supply chain partners gathered yesterday to discuss how clean tech can diversify BC’s economy and markets amid the trade war. The event was the latest stop on New Economy Canada’s “Getting Things Built” cross-country tour — showcasing companies that are investing, building and hiring locally — and was hosted in partnership with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and Invinity Energy Systems.“Invinity’s energy storage systems take a good thing and makes it better. And that’s what we’re trying to do with renewable energy, take a good thing and make it better. And that will enable it to be more commonplace. Renewables often take heat for being intermittent, and batteries help. They’re going to enable greater integration and penetration of renewables across the world. Canada can be a leader, both in the technology development as well as the roll out and commercialization and execution.”“A company like Invinity makes up a really important ecosystem here in Vancouver and across the lower mainland of clean tech and high-tech companies that provide services and goods to BC’s mining industry. In BC we have 18 operating mines, two smelters and more than a dozen development companies, and they all purchase goods and services in BC…supporting BC-based homegrown intellectual property and BC know-how that is working to come up with an idea, to commercialize, sell and export. Companies like Invinity and other clean tech companies are vital to our industry today and into the future to keep us growing and keep us low carbon.”New Economy Canada is a non-partisan initiative uniting over 60 companies, industrial sector associations, as well as labour and Indigenous organizations, all committed to accelerating investment in Canada’s clean economy.
