Breaking Barriers, Building the Future 🚀🌍

Last week, the VoltaMat Advanced Technologies Inc. team had the chance to step away from the technical side of battery materials and join a bigger conversation at Breaking Barriers: Rethinking Tech Investment for Startups.

This wasn’t your typical startup event; it was a bold, timely forum that brought together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to challenge outdated thinking and explore how innovation can be made more accessible, inclusive, and impactful. 💡🤝

We’re especially grateful to Global Startups for leading the way in creating this space. Their work building bridges for entrepreneurs, not just in Canada, but globally, is exactly what the startup ecosystem needs right now. 🌐✨

Events like this remind us that solving big challenges, like building a sustainable, North American supply chain for battery-grade synthetic graphite, takes more than technology. It takes collaboration, bold ideas, and a community willing to break barriers together. 🔋💭

The agenda offered plenty to reflect on, from Decoding Deep Tech Investment to The Future of Inclusive Capital, to hearing Kim Furlong share her vision for how Canada can unlock its full potential. 🎙

Thank you to Miryam Lazarte, Marcelle Soldá, Attilio Augieri, Meg Welter, and Carla Ramos from Global Startups, as well as the event partners and everyone we connected with. We left energized by the possibilities and reminded that real progress happens when we rethink not just what we build and with whom, we build it. 🚀
