Climate Tech Fund II
Our $400 million fund invests in Canadian climate technology firms demonstrating high potential to grow into global champions and deliver significant domestic and global greenhouse gas reductions. Our team works in close partnership with our portfolio companies, providing advice, connections to government funding programs and private investors. We have the financial capacity to follow-on in a meaningful way as your company commercializes and scales.
