Across Canada, entrepreneurs are striving to develop
technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve
environmental sustainability, and provide other climate-related
solutions to the domestic and international markets. In this
respect, government programs and policies have been recognized as
key factors influencing the development of cleantech industry,
alongside other issues such as talent pipeline, capital flows and
infrastructure.
Our ESG Initiative has drafted this bulletin to outline several
government funding sources available to entrepreneurs and companies
operating in the clean technology sector in Canada, including
provincial programs in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. This
article provides a high-level overview of these programs, their
eligibility requirements, and the services they provide.
