The University of New Brunswick’s Energia Ventures startup accelerator will hold its second demo day of 2022 on Dec. 13, showcasing a roster of five companies from three countries.
Energia is hosted by the University of New Brunswick’s Technology, Management and Entrepreneurship program and supports startups from around the world involved in energy, smart grids, cleantech and cybersecurity. The program is in its sixth year of operation and recently began offering two annual cohorts in response to rising demand.
The hybrid demo day starts at 5:30 p.m. and you can register for it free here. That, however, is only necessary if you plan to attend in person. Watching online does not require registration.
