Atlantic Canada Wind Energy Supply Chain Information Session & Mixer | St. John’s, NL

Interested in new business and job opportunities in Atlantic Canada’s growing wind energy sector?  

As Atlantic Canada’s offshore and onshore wind sector grows, so do the opportunities for local suppliers, businesses, and communities to participate in projects and reap the benefits. There’s never been a better time to learn more about how to get involved in the region’s wind energy development.

Join Marine Renewables Canada (MRC) for an in-person information session in St. John’s to explore the results of the Atlantic Wind Energy Supply Chain Assessment, led by Xodus Group and a team of local consultants. Sessions will provide a comprehensive look into the future of both offshore and onshore wind energy development in Atlantic Canada and what supplies and services are required to meet growing project demand. With a focus on enhancing local capabilities, these information sessions will address key questions and opportunities for businesses and communities in the region. Following the session, join us for the MRC Mixer at 5:00 pm — a great opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with others in the industry. Open to both members and non-members.
