Cruising with @FlavioVolpe1 talking shop - strategizing how we can help scale German automaker investments in Canada beyond anything we could have ever imagined pre-pandemic. Government and private sector collaboration at its best—talking on a drive to a meeting of the minds.

With @MacnicaAmericas in San Jose CA after talking technology trends and scouting. Scouting for technology partners, they have a strong recognition of Canadian AI. Macnica is nimble and moves fast. Thank you Fumio Oda for flying in to meet Soichi and I in California.

Beaming after meeting with Holly Wu at @MercedesBenzUSA in California. It is hard not to smile after hearing @MercedesBenz plans for the world and its recent ventures. The company is open to new ideas and moves fast like its cars! #MercedesBenz #Mercedes

I love working with @BMWGroup. There is no better way to get an understanding of the full user experience and the technologies that compliment it than actually driving around in their latest fully electric Grand Coupe, The I4 - The future of mobility. Thank you @BMWStartups #BMW

California and Canada are the places to be for next generation ZEVs and autotech. There is so much we can do and so many things we can make.

With @SaeedAmidi, Founder & CEO of @PlugandPlayTC. Mr. Amidi created the template of open innovation and his success speaks for itself. I came to talk autotech but we had much more to talk about. Thanks Saeed for the chat. We agree great things are happening here and in Canada.

With one of the greats, @SteveWestly at the Westly Group. As one of the largest venture funds in North America focused on smart energy, mobility, and buildings with nine IPOs including @Tesla Motors where he served on the board, we have a lot in common and much to talk about.
