  • Local insights that reduce risk and speed time-to-market for projects.

Flavio Volpe is a Member of the Order of Canada and a renowned policy expert on national trade and industry competition in Canada’s automotive and technology sectors who advocates investment in Canadian operations.

GrO is taking Oshawa to new heights, and our event partner, NectAir, will get you there. For the leaders building our cities, a day is too valuable to waste in transit. What if you could attend a lunch meeting in Quebec City and be back home by dinner? NectAir makes that a reality. As a tech-enabled private air taxi service, NectAir provides short-distance regional travel throughout Ontario, Quebec, & the Northeastern U.S. 


To demonstrate the power of private air travel, one lucky GrO Building Summit participant will win a free exclusive flight, courtesy of NectAir! 


It's time to share bold ideas. It's time to GrO. We look forward to welcoming you.
