GHD embraces innovation in a new partnership with MaRS Discovery district
GHD has partnered with MaRS Discovery District, North America’s largest urban innovation hub. This year-long partnership will provide GHD’s global future energy team with access to the Toronto-based start-up and innovation ecosystem.
MaRS Discovery District has more than Canadian 1,400 startup organizations helping create new ideas and solutions to shape the future. Our future energy team entered into this partnership with MaRS to help startups access the rapidly evolving energy sector by developing client-focused proof of concepts and sharing our global engineering expertise and broader partnership opportunities. Our involvement in the innovation ecosystem will help build relationships with clients, partners and startup organizations. These relationships will help accelerate GHD’s future energy innovation footprint; propelling new ideas into new markets.
The focus of the MaRS Cleantech segment involves a series of strategically aligned market segments across agritech, advanced materials, energy, proptech, transportation, waste management and water. Our team will work with startup organizations focused on the energy transition. Priority technology areas are related to energy storage, methane reduction, hydrogen, waste to power, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), direct air capture, electrification, and net-zero strategy deployment. At the outset, GHD will provide educational content to the MaRS network. Our subject matter experts will participate in webinars and author papers to support the knowledge-share across the MaRS startup community.
