"Multifamily owners and residents alike are eager to participate in the smart energy revolution," said Felicite Moorman, CEO and Co-founder, STRATIS IoT.

In addition to the environmental benefits, building owners and operators are realizing ROI quickly, especially in the areas of waste prevention. I'm looking forward to discussing how the Internet of Things is rewriting how we think about energy management in multifamily during the Smart Energy Summit next month."

What Would an ASEAN-Canada Free Trade Agreement Mean for Foreign Investors?

What Would an ASEAN-Canada Free Trade Agreement Mean for Foreign Investors?

summarize this content to 20 words The proposed ASEAN-Canada Free Trade Agreement (ACAFTA) could reduce trade barriers between Canada and Southeast Asia while creating new opportunities for companies using ASEAN as a manufacturing, sourcing, services, or regional investment base. Canada-ASEAN bilateral merchandise trade reached C$52.5 billion (US$38 billion) in 2025, up 23.6 percent from C$42.4 billion (US$31 billion) in 2024. ASEAN’s member states collectively represented Canada’s fifth-largest merchandise trading partner. From ASEAN’s perspective, Canada ranked as its 16th-largest trading partner and 10th-largest source of foreign direct investment in 2025. ASEAN now comprises 11 member states following Timor-Leste’s admission in October 2025. Where ASEAN-Canada trade and investment stand today Manufacturing in ASEAN frequently involves regional production networks. A product assembled in Vietnam, for instance, may contain inputs from Malaysia, Thailand, or Indonesia. Whether those inputs count toward the product’s originating status could determine whether it qualifies for preferential tariffs when exported to Canada. Canada’s negotiating objectives specifically seek rules allowing the cumulation of materials and production and recognizing existing regional production patterns. If reflected in the final agreement, these provisions could give manufacturers greater flexibility to divide qualifying production and sourcing among ASEAN countries rather than concentrating activities in one jurisdiction solely to obtain tariff preferences.
