CTA CleanTech NYC+SF

Program Overview

The Canadian Technology Accelerator for CleanTech NYC+SF: A “virtual” incubator for innovative Canadian tech companies, helping with market growth and investment opportunities in New York City and Silicon Valley.

CTA CleanTech is a joint program between the Consulates General of Canada in New York and San Francisco providing key resources to Canadian entrepreneurs in the sustainable technology space to help them accelerate their growth into the global market — California and New York represent two of the most important markets for CleanTech in the US.

CTA CleanTech is structured to include remote mentoring from U.S.-based experts, a series of webinars, and one visit each to NYC and Silicon Valley. Our selection committee favors companies with differentiated technologies, strong teams, demonstrated traction, and real potential to scale. Targeted market sectors include: Green chemistry and advanced materials; energy/water data, analysis, management & control; clean energy; clean transportation and mobility, clean web, consumer engagement and smart grid.

“The CTA CleanTech is truly a unique program that provides strong value to high-potential Canadian growth-stage companies in the clean technology space to be fast-tracked into a network of valuable business and investor contacts. I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of companies the CTA continues to attract and the success they have achieved.”

– Régine Clément CEO of the CREO Syndicate and CTA CleanTech Co-Founder
