Vancouver, B.C. — MCABC is excited to partner with the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce to host a high‑profile German delegation of innovative building‑technology manufacturers for a business and networking event at SFU’s Vancouver Campus on June 3.
Following early support from MCABC, including a letter of support provided last year, the MCABC Board of Directors is pleased to see this international collaboration come to life.
“Innovation is one of MCABC’s six pillars,” says Kim Barbero, CEO. “We are honoured to partner with the international chamber network to share technological advancements with our industry.”
The event brings a global perspective on energy efficiency directly to B.C.’s construction and mechanical contracting industries and reflects MCABC’s commitment to ensuring members have access to leading‑edge ideas, technologies, and solutions for delivering high-performance buildings.
Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, it offers a unique opportunity for six German companies to connect directly with mechanical contractors and building‑industry stakeholders.
The event will kick off with a networking meeting and product presentations, followed by lunch and one-on-one B2B meetings to explore specific opportunities for collaboration.*
The schedule is as follows:
- 9:00 am-11:45 am: Company Presentations + Moderated Q&A
- 11:45 am-12:45 pm: Networking Lunch
- 1:00 pm-5:00 pm: One-on-One B2B Meetings with Delegates
Four of the six visiting manufacturers are primarily focused on solutions for HVAC contractors, including de‑centralized heating and ventilation systems, installation technologies, and services:
