Workshop Description:
As the global marine renewable energy sector evolves, new trade and export opportunities are being created that could be seized by Canadian companies. While a new market, marine renewable energy has the potential to be significant with estimates of 748 GW of marine renewable energy development potential by 2050. This is a major opportunity for Canada to establish a supply chain that can export innovation, technologies, and expertise to an estimated $900 billion global market.
