A National Blueprint for Unprecedented Growth and Resilience
In 2022, we launched the BC Net Zero Innovation Network (BCNZIN) with a foundational $7.5M from Pacific Economic Development Canada and the provincial Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. This Innovation Network Model is simple, powerful, and universally adaptable:
- Convene diverse industry players to tackle shared, non-competitive challenges.
- Facilitate transparent and productive dialogue to align partners on actionable plans.
- Seed projects to de-risk innovation, thereby attracting significantly larger private investment.
- Pool resources to make ambitious, transformative projects economically viable.
In just three years, the initial $7.5M investment yielded an extraordinary return of $154M in combined new revenue and private investment, not including substantial job creation and export opportunities not yet quantifiable:
$82M
Canadian SME Revenue Growth
+149% of Targets
$79M
New Private Sector Investment
+280% of Targets
$30M
Export Sales Growth
+107% of Target
388
New High-Quality Jobs Created
+161% of Target
This Innovation Network Model is scalable, adaptable, and customizable across Canada. Whether innovating on agriculture in the Prairies, developing cutting-edge resource solutions in the North, or driving advanced manufacturing in Central Canada, the core principles remain powerfully consistent.
