Blue Origin: Founded with a vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, Blue Origin’s efforts include flying astronauts to space on New Shepard, producing reusable liquid rocket engines, building next-generation space habitats, and returning to the surface of the Moon.
At the fair, meet the researchers powering these achievements and share your visions for life in space. Write or draw your ideas on a postcard and Blue Origin will actually send it to space on a New Shepard rocket, then return it to you stamped “Flown to Space.”
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL): The world’s leader in robotic space exploration, JPL are sending rovers to Mars, probes into the farthest reaches of the solar system, and satellites to advance understanding of our home planet.
Experience JPL’s software ProtoSpace, a collaborative augmented reality CAD visualization tool that is actually used by our engineers to design and build for NASA. This is a hands-on demonstration to see a full-scale spacecraft in augmented reality!
Surface Avatar (DLR x ESA): Developing robots designed to act in surroundings that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans, and that can support humans in everyday life and work.
Visit their booth to find out how astronauts are commanding a robot on Earth, exactly like several crew members have done from the ISS! Using the same multi-modal user interface, you will command a humanoid robot, Rollin’ Justin, in a variety of tasks in a simulated Martian environment.
Puli Space: Alumni of the Google Lunar XPRIZE, Puli Space develops a lightweight, low cost planetary rover with unique mobility capabilities to explore lunar water resources.
At the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Tech Fair, they’ll present the Puli rover I2.61 – visitors can experience its Mission Control interface and drive the rover. Plus, they’ll demo the NASA awarded Puli Lunar Water Snooper, a miniaturized neutron detector, which will search for water ice on the Moon.

The H2 Economy & Mobility - Are You Ready?
2023-03-23 11:45 - 13:00
“Growth in the hydrogen and fuel cell industries will lead to vast new employment opportunities, and
these will be created in a wide variety of industries, skills, tasks, and earnings. Many of these jobs do not
currently exist and do not have occupational titles defined in official classifications. In addition, many of these
jobs require different skills and education than current jobs, and training requirements must be assessed so that
this rapidly growing part of the economy has a sufficient supply of trained and qualified workers.” source Roger Bezdek 2018
Fast forward to 2023, Hydrogen is happening now and in Alberta’s Heartland! Economic impacts will also play into job creation in Ontario and Quebec.
How will this affect municipalities, future industries and mobility? Join in for exciting conversations on the rise of Hydrogen as part of the future economy, job creation, skills and sustainability!

Building for the New Energy Economy? Get Ready!
2023-06-07 11:45 - 13:30
Even as the world goes through economic shifts, we all still need to power our homes, offices, stores, restaurants and communities. And even with scooters and bikes, we still need vehicles to get you to long distance destinations and to deliver your produce.

The energy grid of the future will integrate several forms of power sources, from traditional fuels to new forms of energy including solar, geothermal and hydrogen.

So the question is what types of new builds will be needed for both infrastructure and systems?

New jobs that require new skills or transferable skills from other roles will include design, engineering, construction, and safety, to ESG, project management and maintenance. Creative roles will include communications & sales, and customer experience.

Supply chains and logistics roles will also be impacted to include automation.

Subtrades and contractors will need to be ready to grow their businesses – going beyond the traditional build processes of decades ago, before AI, robotics and automation.

Join this exciting panel conversation with ATCO, Keller Construction and Lakeland College on what you can do to position yourself to participate and lead in the future building of your community and city!
Chat with the panel speakers following the speaker sessions, and as well mentors TBA at virtual tables to ask for advice!
