Ottawa Cleantech Initiative

The Ottawa Cleantech Initiative is committed to promoting and strengthening the clean technology industry in the Ottawa and Eastern Ontario region. The Ottawa Cleantech Initiative is a program of OCRI Life Sciences, a catalyst for growth of the local life sciences community.

Initiated in 2004 as the Bioproducts Business Network, this network has since expanded to support a growing stakeholder base of clean energy and environmental technology companies in addition to bioproducts. We are bringing together the clean technology community not only in the City of Ottawa, but in surrounding municipalities of Eastern Ontario including Renfrew, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry, and Prescott & Russell.

The Ottawa Cleantech Initiative works to connect suppliers, companies, communities, universities, research institutions, funding bodies and policy makers along the path from innovation to commercialization. Our goal is to facilitate the development of new commercial relationships and opportunities in clean technology.

With world-class research capacity, innovative technology companies, and an availability of natural resources, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario demonstrates its strength in clean technology and support for a sustainable economy.
