Fast-tracking heavy industry decarbonization: How Industry Connect Canada’s hosted buyer programme de-risks net-zero projects.
For senior decision-makers across Canada’s heavy-emitting sectors—steel, cement, chemicals, mining, and oil & gas—the central challenge of the energy transition is no longer setting net-zero targets. The true hurdle is project bankability: securing the capital, proven technology, and strategic partners required to bring large-scale decarbonization projects from concept to execution.
Integrating carbon capture (CCUS), hydrogen fuel switching, and clean baseload power into brownfield assets requires significant upfront CapEx and rigorous operational de-risking. To bridge this gap between corporate ambition and capital deployment, industrial leaders need direct access to pre-screened technology and investment partners who can help structure viable, bankable projects.
Streamlining strategic partnerships
To accelerate these critical connections, Industry Connect Canada 2026 (October 27, Toronto) has launched its flagship Hosted Buyer Programme. Designed specifically for senior asset owners and operational leaders (Director level and above), the program strips away traditional conference fluff to focus entirely on commercial alignment and capital allocation.
Selected participants receive a complimentary All-Access Pass to the forum in exchange for participating in up to four pre-arranged, 1:1 meetings with leading technology developers, engineering firms, and project finance providers.
Key benefits of the Hosted Buyer Programme include:
- Tailored 1:1 matchmaking: Pre-scheduled meetings matched directly to your asset's specific operational, power, or financial requirements.
- Exclusive executive access: Full entry to all execution-focused panel sessions, interactive Decision Circles, and VIP networking receptions.
- Balanced ecosystem: A strictly managed 2:1 ratio of industrial operators to solution providers, ensuring productive, high-value discussions.
Rather than spending months vetting suppliers or navigating fragmented investment landscapes, the Hosted Buyer Programme allows project directors to evaluate proven solutions and complete their capital stacks in a single, efficient day.
Secure your place
With heavy industry facing tight regulatory timelines and competitive pressure to de-risk investments, securing the right project partners early is paramount.
Places for the Hosted Buyer Programme are limited to active project buyers and decision-makers.
