"There’s a lot of interesting new technologies to meet the needs of a low carbon future as we build out the infrastructure for AI Storage. For example, on the concrete side of things, and we pair our carbon capture utilization technology to create cement replacements within the concrete mix to create a high performance low carbon alternative. The goal is to keep creating these materials out of local waste so they can be used in building things like AI data centres." Madison Savilow, Director of Corporate and External Affairs, Carbon Upcycling Technologies #GlobeAIStorage

"We have laws and policies in place that protect our media so that a certain portion of our media reflects Canadian culture. Our governments also need to be putting policies in place so that as these large language models are being created, they’re taking into account Canadian data." Marc Mondesir, Managing Director, Equinix Canada #GlobeAIStorage

"On the operational side, one of the things that so many people don't appreciate is that these machines run really hot. Most of the energy you're using to run these data centres is just to cool these things down, because sometimes as chips operate, they can reach temperatures of up to 100 degrees C." Viet Vu, Manager, Economic Research, The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University #GlobeAIStorage

"From an enterprise and Canadian business point of view, we need to put a lot of focus on data resiliency which is a broad topic that factors in cyber attacks and ransomware. We really focus on not just traditional protection but early threat detection and anomaly detection. We have a lot of that now integrated into our AI storage products and that's critical moving forward." Matt Bedernjak, General Manager, Hybrid Cloud Platform (Storage, Servers and Cloud), IBM Canada #GlobeAIStorage

"Talking to other founders has been the most advantageous. If I’m having a bad day, I go to my wife, but if i’m having a dilemma of company, I go to other founders. I learn from people who have done it before. Companies should be willing to give their time to smaller companies, and smaller companies should be hungry to learn form bigger companies." Daniel Jantzi, CEO, Henson Shaving #GlobeMarkets

"How we’ve been able to break into retail is we make sure we work with retailers to provide them data, trends and planning. We take the partnership approach with retailers and they’re very responsive." Aaron Chin, CEO, Organika Health Products #GlobeMarkets
