At SDTC, we know that sustainable technology is a megatrend that will have major impacts on most sectors over the coming years, and we have the expertise required to transform this important Canadian ecosystem. We’re enhancing partnerships with federal and provincial governments to catalyze and harness whole-of-government opportunities to support Canada’s best scale-ups.
Through leveraging the knowledge and know-how we’ve gained from working with entrepreneurs, we are driving policy change that will strengthen Canadian companies and their ability to compete globally.
