Event Overview

A Brief Overview of ConvergX®:

Energy Meets Aerospace, Defence, Security and Mining
This Global Conference continues to be a significant success and returned for it’s third year to Calgary. Currently 48 business transactions are in progress or completed and we look forward to advancing that momentum in 2019.

CONVERGX® – The First and only Global Conference of its kind to create investment and growth opportunities between the Energy, Mining, Aerospace, Defence & Security Sectors. Recognizing that these industries consistently innovate to maintain a competitive advantage, ConvergX® provides the venue for cross sector business opportunities. Hosted by WāVv, whose focus is in bridging the gap to accelerate exportable technologies, ConvergX® provides a unique business opportunity to partner with capable industry leaders in delivering immediate solutions.

Why Attend ConvergX®

ConvergX® is a targeted conference attended by delegates in senior executive positions. The focus is to engage in discussion sessions to understand the future requirements of the industries and ensure innovation and access to new supply chains is provided.  The format offers sponsors, delegates, and presenters the opportunity to review progress, lessons learned and capabilities in an adjacent market with little or no risk. There are several networking opportunities and valuable feedback sessions built into the program to facilitate introductions and create meaningful partnerships.

“What do Energy & Defence Sectors have in Common? A lot more than you might initially think. Massive industry oversight, precision geolocating, and specialized logistics for equipment transport are just a few. How often do they come together to sell to each other or share intel? Rarely, if ever – until 2015 when Kim Van Vliet, CEO of WaVv Strategic Consulting put on the first ConvergX® conference to bring these vital sectors together.” – Melanie Love, CFA continued…

Benefits of Participation

UNIQUE TO RESOURCE COMPANIES

With over 40 billion dollars in Canadian Government spending forecast in the Aerospace, Defence, and Security (ADS) sector, ADS companies are seeking partnerships to add value to the Canadian economy. The key – Canadian energy companies utilize similar technology as the Defence sector with unique requirements. There is a significant need to facilitate investment and acquisition of technology or services by Defence in Canada. As such, there is an opportunity for cross-sectoral diversification and/or licensing opportunities of your current products.

 

UNIQUE TO DEFENCE COMPANIES

The energy sector is recognized as the most receptive to the innovation needs of Defence, and vice-versa. With equal levels of technological capabilities and needs, both industries are accustomed to the demand for innovation and global delivery of technology.
