By Kelly Jessup

New Cleantech Innovation Portal provides access to commercial opportunities for cleantech companies through a virtual marketplace that brings together city-makers, innovators and investors to accelerate the impact of innovation in communities.

Cleantech Commons has launched the “Cleantech Innovation Portal” to help Canadian ventures in the cleantech sector play a leading role in the pandemic economic recovery.

A partnership with Urban Living Futures, the portal is designed specifically to support innovative clean, green, low-carbon, and sustainable companies – connecting them with customers and helping to get their technology solutions to market more quickly.

Cleantech Commons and Urban Living Futures have partnered to leverage ULF’s UPPlift® platform to identify and promote leading Canadian cleantech innovators and expose them to opportunities for growth, scaling, funding, and, ultimately,  success.

Powered by UPPlift“, the Cleantech Innovation Portal provides cleantech, smart city, and smart technology innovators access to commercial developers, asset owners and managers, city authorities, municipalities, infrastructure investors, and program funders seeking green solutions that help them achieve operational savings, improved resilience, and enhanced user experience as part of the post-COVID economic recovery.
