Slide For RoCo Industries Inc. associating with the SmartNet Coalition provides valuable networking and public engagement opportunities that are not available within other cleantech or green energy focussed groups within Ottawa. Their mandate of improving sustainability and adoption of carbon reducing technologies resonates with our business and our product. As a developer and manufacturer of a novel photovoltaic siding product, that contributes to energy self-sufficient and affordable homes, we are supportive of their vision to enable adoption of energy efficiency and green energy technologies. We are looking forward to participating in Coalition projects that can make a positive climate impact, improve access to green energy, and build the green economy. —Roderick Costain, RoCo Industries Inc. Slide EcoGen Energy & Build has benefitted from membership in SmartNet Coalition in many ways. We’ve connected to like-minded businesses with complementary offerings, and advocated with them to promote the growth of the green energy and building industrial sectors. SmartNet Coalition has also introduced us to many prospective clients at the annual SmartNet Sustainability Showcase and Open House events. Bravo SmartNet Coalition! —Chris Weissflog, Founder of EcoGen Energy & Build Slide As a small business owner, I cannot stress enough the importance of being a part of a supportive community that shares my passion for sustainability and environmental responsibility. SmartNet Coalition has been instrumental in providing us with such a platform. The Coalition has provided invaluable business-to-business networking opportunities, as well as access to a demographic of customers who understand and value our shared mandate. P.G.
