In the second event of the festival at 4 PM, the Canadian province of Alberta stands out as the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the country. According to Paulo Castro Reis, Director of Institutional Relations and Business at CCBC, the municipality is the main reference in technological innovation and investment in the energy sector.

“The province of Alberta has some of the best wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal resources in Canada. The digital transformation there is rapidly becoming the largest driver of new solutions and investments in technology from energy companies. Investments in digital transformation in the Energy and Environment sector in Alberta are projected to be CAD 5.8 billion by 2024, representing a quarter of the investment in digital transformation in public utilities, renewables, oil and gas, and clean technology in Canada. Thus, it is worth understanding more about the market and the future of the sector in order to achieve development,” said Reis.

The Celebration of the Commercial Relationship Between Brazil and Canada

In addition to strengthening the commercial relationship between Brazil and Canada, the festival celebrates ‘Canada Day,’ which takes place on July 1st. This date marks the anniversary of the formal union of three colonial provinces in 1867 between Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. This was the milestone of the country’s independence, as it gained more internal political control.

Historical Facts of the Energy Commercial Relationship Between Brazil and Canada

This potential for electric energy in Canada is not recent. In 1906, the ‘Hydro-Electric Power Commission’ was established, which, years later, obtained authorization to generate and sell energy in the country. Subsequently, the commercial energy relationship between Canada and Brazil began.

Concluding the first day of the Canada Day CCBC Online Festival, the lecture “Quebec City” will take place at 5 PM, focusing on: “Core of Creation and Innovation in Health in Canada.” During the event, the main works developed in the country and studies to further promote advances in Canadian electrical technology will be presented.

Speakers include François Godbout, Senior Business Consultant, and Ricardo Pinto, Business Development Consultant at RDP Consulting. The event will be moderated by Juliana Carmona, Advisor and Responsible for Talent Attraction at Québec International.
