Slide For RoCo Industries Inc. membership in SMARTNet Alliance provided mentorship and advice as well as business connections and networking opportunities that are not available within the cleantech and green energy business development streams. With sustainability and carbon reduction as its core mandate I found them motivated to become a driver in the growth of my business and genuinely concerned with helping our business get our first product line to market.

I recommend membership to any green, carbon reducing, or cleantech firms that are looking to join a community focussed on sustainability that can help create business opportunities.
—Roderick Costain, RoCo Industries Inc.
Slide EcoGen Energy & Build has benefitted from membership in the SMARTNet Alliance in many ways. We’ve connected to like-minded businesses with complementary offerings, and advocated with them to promote the growth of the green energy and building industrial sectors. SMARTNet Alliance has also introduced us to many prospective clients at the annual SMARTNet Sustainability Showcase and Open House events. Bravo SMARTNet Alliance! —Chris Weissflog, Founder of EcoGen Energy & Build Slide Working with SMARTNet Alliance has been a fantastic experience for Lightenco. Their ability to connect us to other entrepreneurs in the sustainability space and help foster mutually beneficial relationships is top notch! Our most recent collaboration with SNDI as an electrical contractor partner has helped us complete a number of hassle free lighting retrofits. Looking forward to accelerating our growth as a team through SMARTNet.

—Steve Hubbard, Director of Sales and Business Development, Lightenco
