Vancouver, BC, February 19, 2018--(T-Net)--BC Innovation Council (BCIC) reported in a blog announcement that Natural Resources Canada has recently announced a $155-million Clean Growth Program that will fund clean technology projects, with the goal of advancing clean technologies towards commercial readiness.
This first of its kind program requires provincial or territorial collaboration, which has opened up exciting partnership opportunities between federal and provincial government organizations.
The BC Innovation Council has announce a Trusted Partnership with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) that will fuel cleantech innovation in BC's energy, mining and forestry sectors.
As a result of this partnership, BCIC will help accelerate the ability of BC cleantech projects to access Clean Growth Program funds for technology research and development (R&D) and demonstration.
In order to qualify for Clean Growth Program funds, projects must have already secured financial or in-kind contributions from provinces or territories by the full proposal stage. This Trusted Partnership — which includes exchanging project details, market information and best practices — will help BCIC facilitate co-funding opportunities between the BCIC Ignite funding program and NRCan's Clean Growth Program.
