Fast Track Cities: Building Sustainable Supply Chains

February 15, 2024

Building Sustainable Supply Chains for a Net Zero Future

Cities across Canada are working harder than ever to meet climate action goals, from decarbonization to improving infrastructure sustainability. Much of this work focuses on innovating the way people move across cities. An often overlooked challenge is how can cities build sustainable, Net Zero supply chains that include the raw materials, finished products and other goods.

With our partners at Communitech, we’re addressing the challenges cities currently face in moving goods sustainably, efficiently and economically. We’ll be talking about a broad spectrum of innovations  for last-mile delivery, from drones to autonomous vehicles to micro-fulfillment centers.

Join us at Fast Track Cities: Building Sustainable Supply Chains with leaders from the public and private sectors for a 90-minute digital event focusing on how supply chain innovations will help get us to a Net Zero future.
