Sustainability Partnerships The district is actively engaging energy providers (BC Hydro, Clean BC, Fortis BC) to reduce carbon footprint, signaling openness to energy-efficiency projects like retrofits, demand-side management, and green infrastructure. This creates opportunities to offer energy audits, energy-management software, solar + battery solutions, and performance-contracting services.

Trades Education Growth A 2026 collaboration with Kwantlen Polytechnic University to train middle/high school teachers for shop classes shows demand for safety training, vocational equipment, and contextualized curricula. Potential sales: safety training programs, PPE, shop equipment, and classroom-ready trades curricula or digital training modules.

Digital Learning Expansion Partnerships with Microsoft and Minecraft Education plus a tech stack including Snowplow and Adobe Experience Cloud indicate a strong push toward data-driven and interactive learning. Sales angles: LMS integration, analytics dashboards, teacher PD in edtech, student devices or services, and cybersecurity/compliance offerings.

Procurement & Partnerships The district maintains cross-sector partnerships (energy, utilities, and tech vendors) and collaboration with libraries and educational institutions, which suggests established procurement processes and willingness to adopt innovative solutions. Opportunity: targeted multi-district or bundle offerings, savings programs, and regional procurement partnerships.

Community STEM Outreach Active STEM outreach with Coquitlam Public Library and Science Expos highlights community engagement as a lever for program sponsorships and equipment sales. Opportunities: maker-space gear, STEM kits, event-technology platforms, sponsorships, and after-school programs.
