Startups Spearheading Climate Solutions
Across Canada, clean tech startups are redefining what’s possible. Companies like CarbonCure in Nova Scotia, which infuses concrete with recycled CO₂, or Vancouver’s General Fusion, which is developing next-gen nuclear technology, are attracting global investment and proving that climate solutions can be both profitable and scalable.
Government Support Boosting Green Innovation
The federal government has committed over $15 billion through programs like the Canada Growth Fund and the Net Zero Accelerator Initiative. These initiatives provide funding and tax incentives for industries to decarbonize, electrify, and innovate across sectors like energy, transport, and manufacturing.
Green Jobs on the Rise
As traditional sectors adapt, new green jobs are emerging in everything from retrofitting buildings and electric vehicle manufacturing to environmental data analysis. According to Natural Resources Canada, the green workforce could grow by over 560,000 jobs by 2030.
