Foresight 50

Canada's Most Investible Cleantech

Our annual Foresight 50 Showcase spotlights the year’s most investible cleantech ventures operating in Canada. Each of them proves that investing in cleantech is not just an ethical choice, but a profitable one. They are—or are poised to become— profitable for investors and industry adopters alike, while reducing emissions, saving fresh water, and repurposing waste streams into value-added products.
