The award stemmed from a careful assessment of 179 nominated companies across Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Selection was based on six critical areas, including corporate culture; work-life balance; diversity, equity, and inclusion; benefits and remuneration; incentives and rewards; and opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

"At Solace, the core of our strength is our people," stated Neil Chaulk, CEO of Solace Power, in reference to the award. "Our team's diversity is a key asset: one-third of our team is under-30, another one-third is international, over 10% are visible minorities, and nearly one-third are women. This dynamic mix fuels our innovative edge and drives outstanding results for both our company and customers." He further added, "Being recognized as one of Atlantic Canada's Best Places to Work is not only a meaningful accomplishment but also a testament to our unwavering focus on fostering a culture of excellence."

Receiving the accolade perfectly coincided with another noteworthy achievement for Solace. The company recently announced a partnership agreement with Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), a global leader in the automotive, aerospace, and fire protection industries. The collaboration, which also brought a strategic investment by Gentex in Solace Power, is set to broaden the scope of development, manufacture, and commercialization of Solace's state-of-the-art wireless power systems in various sectors.

"Being honored as one of the best places to work in Atlantic Canada is not just a badge of honor for Solace; it's a call to action. With the significant global reach and manufacturing-at-scale capabilities that come with the Gentex partnership, Solace is gearing up for an expansive recruitment drive in 2024.
