(TSX.V: RE) (“RE Royalties” or the “Company”), a global leader in renewable energy royalty-based financing, has entered into an agreement to provide financing to FuseForward Solutions Group Ltd. (“FuseForward”), a Vancouver based technology company that provides smart infrastructure and digital transformation solutions to utilities, real estate, health care and government industries. FuseForward’s smart infrastructure solutions allow their clients to improve operational efficiencies and reduce energy consumption, waste, and water use.

The Financing Facility will enable FuseForward to fund its growth into the smart infrastructure sector, enabling FuseForward to expand its product offerings, in particular their Smart Cities and Campus Initiative.
