Our network of over 840 alumni companies have been making big waves in the Canadian cleantech ecosystem. Since May, they’ve been expanding into new markets, closing $38 million in successful raises, winning big awards, and finding new, exciting partnerships.
As our companies grow and scale, they are deploying climate solutions, supporting the transition to a green economy, and driving Canada toward a net zero future.
Here are a few of the highlights:
