Energy, Environment, Electronic & Materials
This specialty area supports Canadian entrepreneurs developing technologies outside the traditional venture capital targets of life sciences, telecom and information technology businesses.  Target markets for new Advanced Technologies investments will generally be in the following subsectors: electronics, advanced materials and manufacturing processes, energy and environmental.

Information & Communication Technologies
Software such as enterprise-wide applications, targeted vertical markets, networking/communications, operating systems, as well as collaborative applications are examples of key areas that present interesting investment opportunities. Products and applications in optical and wireless networking, photonic, broadband transmission, bandwidth and network optimization continue to attract our attention.

Life Sciences
Long-term demographic trends, the full sequencing of the human genome, and the convergence of technologies such as bioinformatics and proteomics are driving a surge of medical discoveries in diagnostics, preventive medicine and therapeutics, ultimately creating new investment opportunities.
