  • The Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation and the NISP® Canada team invite you to participate in our next Business Opportunities Workshop in the City of Trail, as part of the Canadian National Industrial Symbiosis Program (NISP®). This initiative aims to develop innovative resource management solutions and generate triple bottom line benefits to a wide range of companies based in British Columbia.

     

    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 new inputs 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: nispcanada.ca/workshops

    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.
