Canadian companies are at the cutting edge of a new generation of fuel cell-based clean energy systems. Mitsubishi International Corporation's (MIC) affiliate, Mitsubishi Canada Limited (MCL), is actively exploring potential customers for a variety of fuel cell applications ranging from automobiles to tiny power devices for portable electronics. Investing in Next Generation Power Although we are working with fuel cell and hydrogen companies worldwide, we recognize Canada's position as a fuel cell world leader. Mitsubishi International Corporation (MIC), Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Mitsubishi Canada Limited (MCL), are investing in technology companies developing fuel cell and hydrogen power solutions, providing both equity investment and access to MC's global network. Fuel cell and hydrogen companies looking to expand their access to markets and customers will find us a powerful partner. Investments include two energy-focused limited partnerships. MCL is a limited partner in Vancouver, Canada-based Chrysalix, a world leader in early stage fuel cell equity investment. Chrysalix has invested in a variety of fuel cell and hydrogen companies in Canada and the U.S. In addition, MC has invested in Conduit Ventures Limited, the first European-based venture capital firm focused purely on fuel cells and related hydrogen technologies. There are many potential ways in which MCL can add value to an investment or business development partner. MCL can provide marketing and distribution in Japan and other markets, allowing access to major customers such as utilities, industrial corporations, or even individual consumers. MCL can provide due diligence on potential partners, or on government rules and regulations, having contacts with companies both large and small, including companies not yet on the international "radar screen". For example, MCL is currently representing a hydrogen sensor company to industrial customers in Japan, as well as working to market another company's fuel cells to OEMs in Japan. MCL also markets hydrogen purification equipment in Japan for another private Canadian company. About Mitsubishi Canada Limited Mitsubishi Canada Limited (MCL), headquartered in Vancouver, is well positioned to take a proactive role in the development of the fuel cell and hydrogen economy. Vancouver is the center of Canadian fuel cell development, and is universally acknowledged as one of the "fuel cell hubs" of the world. This has helped MCL to develop an understanding of the technical and market factors critical to the establishment of the fuel cell and hydrogen economy. MCL also has an office in Toronto. The majority of the company's business is in the trade of machinery, chemicals, energy, foods, metals and resources, and information technology. Additionally, MCL has established a Business Development and Investment Department, focusing on emerging ventures and leading edge technology opportunities within Canada. As MCL grows in the future, fuel cells and the hydrogen economy will play a major role in the development of its business. |
