"The Canada-California Strategic Innovation Partnership (CCSIP) Initiative
is an informal process of collaboration and exchange between the two
jurisdictions involving academic, private sector, financial and public
sector organizations. It champions the development of new models of
cooperation and specific projects in innovation-intensive areas that are
priorities in both jurisdictions. 

 

Canada and California have very strong relationships, including $36.9
billion in bilateral trade, and share many complementary strengths. They
also share common concerns in areas like public health, energy and
transportation. Canada is a leading country in higher-education Research and
Development (R&D) intensity, and California represents one of the most
dynamic innovation systems on the planet. To sustain Canada's and
California's position as global leaders in this era of Research, Development
and Delivery (RD&D), stakeholders in both jurisdictions have decided to
establish the CCSIP Initiative."



Of particular interest is the upcoming California-Canada summit in Montreal
of which one of the themes will be Green IT and Next Generation Internet.
California and Canada recognize that research and technology development
into the future Internet and Information Communication Technologies (ICT)
will play a critical role in addressing the greatest challenge facing the
planet, namely global climate change. More importantly it plays to our
respective strengths in ICT, cyber-infrastructure entertainment  and
renewable energy and will hopefully will lay the foundation for the future
zero carbon economy.   It is recognized that businesses and research
institutions that are first to adopt a zero carbon strategy will be the
global winners of this century.

 

Examples of such a strategy are research initiatives like GreenLight,
Optiputer and CineGrid in California and PROMPT's Next Generation Internet
to Reduce Global Warming (G-NGI) in Canada. On the Industry side a good
example of collaboration in Green IT is the partnership between SUN and
Mitel to develop low carbon footprint unified IP client called Sunray which
won the Best of Interop Award in 2008.  Products like the Mitel-SUN Sunray
will be critical for businesses and universities to meet the very stringent
carbon reduction targets of our respective jurisdictions.

 

The California-Canada summit on Green IT and Next Generation Internet is an
invitation only event. But if you are a researcher or company that
interested in California-Canada collaboration in the area of Green IT you
may want to contact one of the people listed below. A preliminary planning
meeting is being arranged in Palo Alto at HP headquarters on September 19th.
