Mission & vision

Dalhousie University researcher working in lab

Ben Thompson, a Master's of Applied Science student at Dalhousie University, working on a NESTNet project. 

NESTNet’s mission is to bring together leading academic, industry, utility and government stakeholders to develop, test, demonstrate and, ultimately, commercialize innovative energy storage technologies, products, processes and services through multidisciplinary and collaborative research and development.

To achieve its long-term vision of creating more reliable, environmentally friendly and efficient electric power systems, the network will work to increase the market penetration of Canadian-made energy storage technologies worldwide.

This mission and vision is directed at transformational change, and will be achieved by meeting goals critical to academic, public and private sector stakeholders over five years:

  1. Generate fundamental energy storage knowledge.
  2. Facilitate energy storage technology commercialization.
  3. Train Canadian highly qualified personnel.
  4. Strengthen and deepen existing research partnerships between Canadian organizations and academic researchers.
