Zero-emission freight corridors: what it takes to scale upPanel
Electrifying long-haul freight requires reliable high-power charging infrastructure, coordination between provinces, and new ways of working together for carriers, charge point operators, utilities and governments. This panel brings together organizations already deploying this infrastructure to tackle the practical realities of scaling up: how to remove the main barriers and make the investments pay off, so that Quebec's and Canada's major trade corridors become a driver of both competitiveness and supply chain decarbonization.
Mobility megaprojects: closing the gap between ambition and deliveryPanel
Public transit, rail, energy infrastructure: the megaprojects now underway will shape mobility for decades to come. This panel brings together leaders who are taking these projects from plan to reality. Drawing on their experience and the obstacles they've faced, they'll highlight what it takes to succeed, from vision and financing to governance and execution.
Reinventing urban mobility: lessons from the cities shaping what's next Panel
Around the world, cities are rethinking how people move, how goods are delivered and how urban space is shared, through public transit, micromobility, last-mile delivery and low-emission zones. Decision-makers behind the mobility strategies of major cities will share the models we can draw on to transform urban mobility.

Tracing critical and strategic minerals: a new edge for exportersPanel
Traceability of critical and strategic minerals is becoming essential for accessing international markets, and new regulatory requirements are rewriting the rules. How can companies turn these requirements into a competitive advantage? This panel will explore the tools and strategies that strengthen the sovereignty and competitiveness of our value chains and open up new business opportunities for Canadian companies.
Electric vehicles: from grid burden to energy assetPanel
Often seen as a new strain on the grid, electric vehicles can become a genuine source of energy flexibility. With smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), they can help balance the grid while opening the door to new business models and revenue streams. The players building this model will explain how those benefits can be shared among vehicle owners, fleet managers, charging operators and electricity providers.
Commercializing innovation: financing the next growth cyclePanel
Zero-emission transportation technologies have proven themselves. One of the main hurdles to scaling up is now securing substantial financing to bring them to market. Investors, decision-makers and entrepreneurs will discuss how to unlock that capital, and what sets apart the projects that attract investment from those that never get past the demonstration stage.
