Current & Critical - Billy Rideout, Innovation and Scalability - How to Think and Do Differently

In this episode, hear from Billy Rideout to get his insights on the Alberta innovation and investment scene. As the CEO and Visionary of Exergy Solutions, a company that helps out start-up firms by enabling them to take their unique technology to market quickly through advanced design-built solutions, he understands how to de-risk innovation and new technology and foster an environment where taking a chance is not only safe, but preferred. Thanks to his previous senior roles at Suncor, Billy intimately understands the difficulty bureaucracy can have on innovation and why clutching your million-dollar idea to your chest hinders progress.

Show Notes

Billy believes collaboration, rather than competition, is key to developing new energy technologies. He is currently working on a project with three major oil producers who would normally never work together. However, they have seen the benefits of collaboration and are working together to create an innovative product. This product not only has the potential to make Alberta more competitive but could also help lead the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By working together, we can create a better future for all.
