Canada Is Surging Ahead In Clean Technologies
Clean technologies are increasingly being viewed as a future driver for the Canadian economy, creating well-paid jobs and export revenues.
The recently released Global Cleantech 100, a rigorously researched list of the world’s most promising clean technology ventures, reveals why: Of the 100 companies listed, 11 were Canadian.
That’s astonishing representation for a country of our population size. Canada was second only to the United States, which had 52 companies on the list, and well ahead of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, which had seven each.
Canada has strength across the cleantech board. The companies listed work in areas such as energy efficiency, water treatment, carbon capture, precision agriculture and even nuclear fusion. They include firms like smart thermostat manufacturer Ecobee, which focuses on the consumer market, and Axine Water, which uses an electrochemical process to cleanse industrial waste water.
After years under the Harper government when there wasn’t much to cheer about and the sector was given little international profile, Canada is roaring back onto the global stage for clean technologies.
