Oil and gas, forestry, and mining account for a significant share of jobs and tax revenues in communities across Ontario. But what of their environmental impact? Thanks to new technologies and major investments, the natural resource sectors are both reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions and developing the tools needed to support broader decarbonization of the global economy.

Register to hear from a panel of experts to learn how these sectors are investing in sustainable innovation.

How to plan, engage and promote your business on social media.

If you are planning on using several Social Media channels for your business, here are five ways to enhance your presence this week:

1.) Have a plan before you start posting. It is easy to become overwhelmed with all the social media channels available to your business.

2.) Do it daily – or at the very least, have a schedule.

3.) Engage with your audience! This is where Social Media can get fun – because it’s social, after all!

4.) Join conversations happening in your industry. What we mean by this is: if your business is in the food industry, and someone posts “looking for a good steakhouse near me,” that’s something worth getting involved with!

5.) Promote other businesses – But don’t just promote, give suggestions!

Ontario meets NRW – The Potential of AI in Manufacturing
Invitation by Ontario and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW)
Thursday, February 3 2022
9:00AM – 10:30AM

Digital technologies implemented in manufacturing processes increase the innovative capacity of companies around the world and contribute greatly to national GDPs and economic development.
Canada and Germany have been very successful to drive digitization efforts across their advanced manufacturing industries by supporting cutting-edge technology start-ups. Especially in the two countries’ economically strong and manufacturing-heavy regions of Ontario and North Rhine-Westphalia, world-class AI and Industry 4.0 technologies have enabled corporations to increase their innovation capacity and international competitiveness.

This virtual event “Ontario meets NRW – The Potential of AI in Manufacturing” will focus on transatlantic business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking between AI and Industry4.0 start-ups and manufacturing corporates to build connections with potential clients or innovation partners.

In addition, the event will feature market and sector briefings, discussions and pitches by leading companies from NRW and Ontario to emphasize the innovative strengths and the close partnership between both regions.
