Description
The City of New Westminster and the NISP® Canada team invite you to participate in our next Business Opportunities Workshop, as part of the Canadian National Industrial Symbiosis Program (NISP®) Pilot. This initiative aims to develop innovative resource
management solutions and generate triple bottom line benefits to companies based in the Metro Vancouver region.
This workshop aims to:
- Find ways of turning waste by-products into valued resource inputs.
- Reduce waste management costs.
- Generate new business opportunities.
- Increase the size and diversity of your business network.
- Identify means of improving environmental performance.
- Expand the regional circular economy and drive innovation.
Workshop agenda:
- Networking breakfast.
- Welcoming remarks, keynote speaker, and overview workshop format.
- Round-table idea generation and resource matching (1.5 to 2 hours).
- Recap of the day’s achievements and synergies discovered.
- Light lunch with additional networking and to launch post-workshop follow-up by NISP® practitioners.
Over 30 regions around the globe have used NISP® events to help tens of thousands of businesses boost revenues, reduce costs, and
improve environmental performance.
The principle behind Industrial Symbiosis is simple: Instead of being thrown away or destroyed, surplus resources generated by a manufacturing or 'maker' process are captured and then
redirected for use as a new input for another process by one or more other companies, providing a mutual benefit or symbiosis.
These mutually profitable links are not restricted to materials. Other potential linkages can be based on such resources as: energy, wastewater, transportation, warehousing and expertise.
If you want to build your business network, achieve cost savings, generate sales from new markets, and contribute towards creating an environmentally sustainable economy;
Register now!
After the workshop, participants will receive reports regarding matches made during the workshop.
Practitioners will provide FREE follow-up to move ideas into business realities.
