2018 Cleantech in Alberta Conference
Description of Past Event:
Building a successful cleantech company requires a mix of ingredients that are challenging to assemble, ranging from technology and funds to intellectual property and strategic partners and customers. What are the public support mechanisms that can help Alberta’s cleantech ventures successfully fund and scale up?
This one-day conference in the fall of 2018, connected Alberta’s cleantech entrepreneurs with the leading public innovation and clean growth support agencies in Alberta and across Canada, to share how to access funding, what support is right for specific types or stages of ventures or projects, requirements for accessing that support, and more.
We would like to thank all of those that attended our conference, as well as our sponsors and partners, all of which were invaluable to our event. For your convenience, we have made the public funders and service providers profiles available, as well as their pitches.
