$7.7 million invested into 13 B.C. climate tech companies

Thirteen climate tech companies have collectively received $7.7 million in funding from the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) — which provides early-stage, non-dilutive investment to accelerate the commercialization of the province’s most impactful clean energy solutions.

The recipients received backing through two of CICE’s initiatives to foster innovation across the province. In May this year, the organization issued a call for projects that advance wildfire management solutions, and in June it asked for products focused on low-carbon hydrogen, battery technologies, energy storage, and low-carbon synthetic fuels.
