Intelligence Test: Thriving Beside the Neighborhood Giant - Durham Region, Ontario, Canada

In our new podcast, Intelligence Test, Robert Bell speaks with the inventor of a technology that could harvest the waste heat from factories, power plants and data centers and turn it into electricity, Brendan MacDonald, and Alison Burgess, who runs communications and engagement for the Durham Region, Ontario, Canada. You need to hear from them both because this remarkable advance is not just the product of one brilliant mind – it is the child of a deep and rich ecosystem of innovation that Durham and its partners have built deliberately and methodically. It is one of the reasons that ICF named Durham a Certified Intelligent Community this year.
