Today within the Globe & Mail very exciting news was released by one of the worlds most established and well respected corporations. “Siemensis looking to Canada to boost growth“ read the headline. I couldn’t help but smile with a sense of validation and pride about this very positive news. It is exactly the right kind of news Canadian industry workers and professionals have been waiting to hear. I found this news especially exciting considering Siemens long established commitment to global clean energy commercialization to see what I mean click on this link here. 

The public affirmation and acknowledgment of our strong stability, growth and business opportunities leaves a great feeling. However this news also gives reason to pause and reflect. We have a lot of work to do because as we all know opportunities can fade quickly especially in very competitive global markets. We must realize our potential and make strides on addressing our “productivity gap“ today using the clean energy sector as a catalyst of growth. Canadian companies such as Just Energy are already making strides within the North American market and have even now expanded globally into the UK but there is still a lot of work ahead. According to UPI.com Canada is still only ranked 8th in the world in clean energy investment ahead of India and Italy rounding out the top 10 respectively.

Something to think about moving forward because I see a lot of job creation and value coming ahead.
