What We Do
Advocate, Champion, Connect
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.
How We Create Impact
CCTA drives progress by:
- Fostering collaboration – connecting regions, sectors, and partners to accelerate innovation.
- Promoting Canadian cleantech – at home and on the world stage.
- Advocating for smart policy – ensuring decision-makers hear and act on the needs of the sector.
- Supporting companies directly – with introductions, export opportunities, and investor connections.
By building bridges between business, government, and capital, we are helping Canada claim its place at the forefront of the global low-carbon economy.
