Canada’s Clean Technology Voice
The Canada Cleantech Alliance (CCTA) is the national voice of Canada’s clean technology sector. Founded in 2016, we bring together diverse cleantech interests with one clear mission: to accelerate Canada’s transition into a global leader in investment, innovation, and job creation—while building a strong, low-carbon economy.
Since its inception, CCTA has become the go-to source for cleantech insight, policy input, and advocacy. Through our network of thought leaders, industry associations, incubators, accelerators, and ecosystem partners, we represent the full strength and diversity of cleantech across Canada. Our board and collaborators reflect this national scope (https://canadacleantechalliance.ca).
Powered by Members & Partners
All initiatives depend on their stakeholders. We’re no different. Canada Cleantech Alliance has a solid basis of board members from Écotech Québec, OCTIA, Evok Innovations, MaRS , Sussex, RXNHUB and Cycle Capital. We also partner with ecosystem players representing sectors, regions and governments from across the country. Join us.
CCTA at the Climate Solutions Prize Festival 2026
One of the highlights of this year’s Climate Solutions Prize Festival was the strong presence of Canada Cleantech Alliance (CCTA) partners throughout the program.
CCTA partners were not there simply as attendees. They were helping lead discussions, share expertise, challenge assumptions, and advance practical solutions to some of our most pressing climate and economic challenges.
Among them:
• Morgan Lehtinen, PhD of Reaction (RXN) HUB participated in the Resource Tech Track discussion on The Regenerative Supply Chain: Rewriting Extraction Through the Lens of Materials, Water, and Waste.
• Bryan Watson of CleanTech North not only participated in Capital Stacks for Climate Solutions: Turning Incentives into Investable Infrastructure, but also played a key role in convening the panel and helping frame an important discussion on how capital can be mobilized to accelerate climate solutions.
• Marilyn Spink, P.Eng., FCAE, ICD.D of Canadian Critical Minerals & Materials Alliance (C2M2A) served as Co-Chair of the Resource Tech Track and also contributed to the panel Can Mining Truly Ever be Responsible? Where Responsibility Stops Being a Slogan and Starts Looking Real.
• Tyler Hamilton from MaRS Discovery District explored one of the defining challenges of our time in The AI Energy Dilemma: Powering Progress Without Breaking the Grid.
• Niels Hagège of Cycle Momentum played a key role to convene the Building Resilient Infrastructure: How Industry Is Turning Climate Innovation Into Real-World Deployment panel.
• Na’im Merchant of Carbon Removal Canada served as Chair of the Energy & Power Track, helping guide discussions on one of the most critical challenges facing the energy transition and the deployment of climate solutions at scale.
The Festival also benefited from the leadership of CCTA’s Executive Director, Lynn Côté, MBA Côté, who served as one of the Festival Co-Chairs and helped support an event that brought together entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, industry leaders, governments, and community organizations from across the climate ecosystem.
What these contributions have in common is a belief that climate progress requires action, collaboration, and practical solutions. At CCTA, we are fortunate to have partners who consistently invest their time, knowledge, and leadership to strengthen Canada’s cleantech ecosystem and help accelerate the deployment of climate solutions.
The cleantech sector succeeds when organizations compete in the marketplace but collaborate to build the ecosystem. The Climate Solutions Prize Festival was a powerful example of that principle in action.
Thank you to all of our partners who contributed to the Festival and to the many volunteers, organizers, speakers, and participants who helped make it a success.
