Durham RTDS Is Connecting In Abu Dhabi

Representing the Durham Regional Technology Development Site (DRTDS), Spark Centre President and CEO, Sherry Colbourne, and Joel Nascimento, Founder of Kevares, recently travelled to Abu Dhabi to present at the first-ever Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit (EVIS) in the Gulf Region.

The goal of their presence at the event was to build a bridge with thought leaders and innovators in the Emirates, to attract leading-edge solutions to Durham Region and to develop connections within the ecosystem so that Durham RTDS clients can also have more opportunities to bring their products and services to the MENA region.

“The Emirates are moving forward at blistering speed to adopt alternative technologies and offset their reliance on fossil fuel. Building collaborative relationships with the innovators, authorities and investors who are supporting such change, will provide another source of knowledge and solutions for EV technology that we want to attract to Durham Region.”          – Sherry Colbourne, President & CEO, Spark Centre
