Accelerating Government Ambitions Into Impacts
We have big plans to establish Canada as a global cleantech superpower. Through work with all levels of government, we're driving climate innovation across the country and catapulting Canada into a leadership position on the global cleantech stage.
Fostering Powerful,

Federal, Provincial, Municipal, and Indigenous leaders across Canada are taking bold action to meet our climate targets. To complement this leadership, we support governments by providing data, insights, and opportunities to foster the growth and impact of green businesses.
Through strategic partnerships and government support, we:
Help enact tactics to meet provincial climate plans and targets
Connect projects with economic benefit to communities facing the harshest effects of climate change
Identify areas of technology, industry, and natural resource focus to invest in the 'big wins'
Foster bilateral trade opportunities between Canada and the global cleantech community
Accelerate municipal procurement processes by connecting them to validated market-ready solutions
