SDTC Mission and Mandate
SDTC’s Mission: “The Foundation will act as the primary catalyst in building a
sustainable development technology infrastructure in Canada”.
Why is the BC Cleantech cluster so
robust? • Lower mainland / Vancouver: a small city in stunning physical environment; has great
Universities and Colleges; a Pacific port - all which helps drive collaboration and
connectedness to take action on global climate change
• Legacy of venture growth tech companies and cleantech venture capital
Corporate Tech Successes Venture Capital + Angel Networks
- MDA Yaletown Ventures, Chrysalix Energy
- Ballard Pangaea Ventures, BDC VC, Growthworks
- Creo Renewal, active Angel networks
• Several other growing tech clusters: wireless, life sciences, digital media, software
• BC carbon policy landscape:
• Standards (Regulation) :GHG Reductions Act, Vehicle Emissions Standards,
Landfill Gas Act
• Investments (Programs): Livesmart; Innovative Clean Energy Fund; Pacific
Institute for Climate Solutions
• Carbon Pricing: Carbon Tax Act, Western Climate Initiative (Cap and Trade),
Pacific Carbon Trust
