Webinar

Financing and business models that deliver

Which energy efficiency business models have been the most successful to date, in Canada and the EU? And how can available financing enable massive upscaling of the business models that deliver results on the ground?

The 15 June 2021 from 16:00 to 18:00 Brussels time

The fourth webinar of the Canada-EU exchange, organised by BPIE, will focus on business and finance models that enable smart use of public and private funds and deliver energy efficiency renovations for both public and commercially owned buildings.

Key questions this webinar will address include:

  • Which energy efficiency business models have been the most successful to date, in Canada and the EU?
  • How can available financing – both public and private – be linked to potential projects and beyond, to enable massive upscaling of the business models that deliver results on the ground?

    To conclude, an interactive panel discussion will provide the audience ample opportunity for the audience to address their questions to speakers.
