quotesAs a result of my involvement with the EFL, we have adjusted our company strategy to focus on more collaborative responses – we realize that there will not be one single solution for energy transition.”

– Audrey Mascarenhas, CEO, Questor Technologies

 

quotesThe fact that an ambitious, unproven, yet bold idea such as the Energy Futures Lab is flourishing in our province, gives me a sense of pride that we are once again embracing our potential to truly think, and act as global leaders.”

– Sean Collins, Co-Founder and Manager of Fundraising | Student Energy

 

quotesWith collaborative support like this for our entrepreneurs and innovators, I believe that we can see new and effective innovations and technologies.
