📈 The voluntary carbon market is just getting started. The global voluntary carbon credit market was valued at USD 4.04 billion in 2024—and it’s projected to skyrocket to USD 23.99 billion by 2030. That growth brings both opportunity and responsibility: 🌍 High-quality,

Canada is punching above its weight in emissions. 🌍 In 2021, Canada ranked as the second-largest per capita emitter of GHGs worldwide. 🏭 That’s 17.7 metric tons per person—far higher than most peer nations. ⚠️ Efficiency gains alone aren’t enough. We need

Canada’s waste problem is bigger than we think. In 2022 alone: 🇨🇦 We generated 36.5 million tonnes of solid waste. ♻️ Nearly 73% was sent straight to disposal instead of being reused, recycled, or recovered. 🌍 This means more strain on landfills, ecosystems, and future

Canada’s chip trade gap is widening. In 2022, Canada exported $2.47B in semiconductors—but imported $7.18B, leaving a significant trade deficit. What this means: - Demand for chips is surging worldwide, but Canada remains heavily dependent on foreign supply. - Programs like

Canada’s semiconductor industry is no small player. 💡 In 2022, semiconductor firms generated $5.5 billion in revenues and contributed $1.3 billion to GDP. But here’s the catch: - Global demand for chips is exploding, yet Canada still lags behind peers in scale and investment.

Canada’s semiconductor moment has arrived. This is more than a renaissance. It’s a turning point. The question is: will Canada seize its semiconductor moment before it closes? Read more from Gordon Harling, President and CEO of @CMCMicrosystems
