“[The Nature-based Solutions Anchoring Event at the 2021 Climate Adaptation Summit] was fabulous, both in content and execution. Your experience in event management really came through in how smoothly and professionally it ran, and your highly collaborative work with our team really enabled us to get the best possible speakers and to draw out the key messages. Elizabeth did a wonderful job as moderator in making it as interactive as possible and keeping it lively. We are very pleased with the result – it seems to me like a model for on-line events that would be hard to beat!”
“BASF Canada participated in GLOBE Capital with a particular emphasis on building awareness about the Value Balancing Alliance (VBA). During this engagement the GLOBE team did an excellent job of working together with BASF and VBA to organise a Spark Talk Session and subsequent Roundtable which allowed participants to learn the highlights of VBA as well as deep dive into a more technical discussion. The GLOBE team was extremely organized with end-to-end management of the event and we were pleased with the outcome and the participation level. Thank you, GLOBE!”

Canada and Japan are global leaders in hydrogen energy innovation. Hydrogen technology holds vast potential to decarbonize multiple economic sectors and create thousands of green jobs over the next decades. Substantial opportunities exist for increased trade and investment, including collaboration between Canadian and Japanese cleantech companies to harness the potential of hydrogen power, while also advancing each country’s respective commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
GLOBE Series worked with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to create a two-day virtual event featuring high-profile speakers from Canada and Japan with simultaneous translation in three languages (English, French, and Japanese). This event brought together 600+ government officials and policy experts to discuss Canada and Japan’s hydrogen strategies and trade and investment opportunities as well as connect leading Canadian and Japanese hydrogen and cleantech entrepreneurs.
Client: The Canadian Institute for Climate Choices
In February 2021, the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices released its comprehensive national modelling report on how Canada can achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The Institute and GLOBE Series partnered to host interactive virtual launch events to delve into the report’s findings and explore potential net-zero pathways for Canada.
On Tuesday, Mar. 30, an additional installment dug deeper into the policy, technology and investment choices required to ensure Canada’s transition to a net-zero economy is prosperous and equitable for all. Thought leaders and an active audience explored the role of government and the newly established Net-Zero Advisory Body in advancing a net-zero transition that delivers economic, environmental, and societal benefits. The session also expanded on pivotal questions through a diversity of perspectives, including civil society, Indigenous communities, clean technology, and investment.
The conversation continued at GLOBE Capital in two sessions focused on net-zero pathways: Destination Net Zero: Corporate Strategies for Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and Destination Net Zero: Government’s Role in Achieving Carbon Neutrality.

The world has barely scratched the surface of what is possible when it comes to using natural solutions to tackle climate change adaptation. They have huge potential to build resilience, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, grow national economies, and deliver benefits to nature and society in general.
10,000 participants from around the world joined event co-hosts, the Governments of Canada and Mexico, at the Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 (CAS 2021) for a dynamic and interactive two-hour exploration of how natural solutions can build resilience at the global, national and local levels.
The session considered the outcomes and lessons learned over the “Year of Action,” and identified opportunities to scale-up widespread participation in and unlock investments for nature-based solutions. It also showcased the inspiring leadership of countries, cities, Indigenous Peoples, and investors who are finding innovative financing approaches to accelerate these solutions.
Nature-Based Solutions at CAS 2021 was supported by the Global Commission on Adaptation, the World Resources Institute, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the Global Centre on Adaptation.

The Low Carbon and Circular Economy Business Action in Canada (LCBA Canada) successfully held its first Challenge Pitch Event with the critical support of GLOBE Series. Funded by the European Union (EU), the Action engages EU SMEs, small mid-caps, and mature startups to respond to unmet Canadian demand for low carbon and circular economy solutions. LCBA Canada aims to facilitate business transactions between Canadian buyers and EU sellers through a series of Challenge Pitch Events.
During GLOBE Capital, GLOBE Series delivered the opening LCBA Challenge Pitch Event over a three-day period (13-15 April). This involved executing both plenary programming and challenge pitches in which EU sellers presented their solutions to meet defined industry challenges. Complimentary registration allowed potential buyers and investors the opportunity to sit in on pitches, participate in formal Q&A sessions, and network with EU companies interested in expanding to the Canadian marketplace.
Our Dragon’s Den-style event at GLOBE Forum 2018 enabled companies to pitch their cleantech business, solution or service to a hand-picked group of interested investors. Organizations selected to take part in this activity were allocated five minutes to pitch their solution to the investor panel, followed by a 10-minute, one-to-one engagement to receive feedback and ask questions.
As part of GLOBE Forum 2018, participants had a chance to deliver a three-minute pitch outlining their ideas or solutions to investors interested in all stages of funding. The top 10 organizations picked by investors participated in a speed dating session later in the week.
