What it does

The Clean Technology and Clean Growth program promotes the development and commercialization of clean technology to create well-paying jobs for Canadians and enhance economic growth while helping to meet Canada’s climate change and other environmental goals. It supports Canadian clean technology firms to help them grow into global high-impact firms as part of Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy. The Clean Growth Hub helps coordinate federal funding available to Canadian clean technology companies to fill the financing and program support gaps they face as they commercialize and scale-up, and improves service to clean technology companies across the country. The program provides evidence-based analysis and advice on clean technology in Canada and supports the development of clean technology policy, outreach, and engagement. The program also supports data collection and regular reporting to improve the Government of Canada’s ability to target policies and programs for the production and adoption of clean technology. This program supports the departmental results “Canada has a clean and sustainable economy” and “Canadian businesses and industries are innovative and growing” under the Companies, Investments and Growth core responsibility.
