The Walrus Talks Power Economy

As international trade dynamics shift daily and the race to decarbonize intensifies, Canada's energy economy stands at a pivotal crossroads. The Walrus Talks Power Economy brings together seven leading voices to explore how Canada's path to a sustainable future is increasingly tied to electrification and reindustrialization.

This thought-provoking event will delve into the economic, environmental, and social impacts of electrifying Canada’s economy. How will electrifying industries, transportation, and homes reshape the national economy? What role will innovations in energy storage and clean technologies play in building a sustainable, competitive Canada? How can Canada lead the global transition to a low-carbon future while ensuring economic resilience? What is a "power economy" now?

Join us in Toronto or online as we bridge the gap between research, policy, and the practical solutions that will define the future of energy and the Canadian economy.

Free livestream with registration. There are fees for attendance in person in Toronto.
