Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) helps Canadian companies develop and deploy sustainable technologies by delivering critical funding support at every stage of their journey — from seed to success. 

Seed funding provides early-stage company founders with a one-time non-payable contribution of $50,000 to $100,000 to validate an idea. Companies must be nominated by one of SDTC’s 85 accelerator partners and have raised $100,000 to $200,000 from accredited investors. 

Start-up funding is for companies with a technology that has been proven at a small scale and are now ready to validate that technology in a market setting. These companies have a well-defined project and a line of sight to financing, are engaged in discussions with potential customers, and are working with customers to test the viability of their business models.  

Scale-up funding targets advanced, high-growth companies that are on the path to delivering meaningful environmental outcomes. These companies have a track record of success and are looking to accelerate their growth, strengthen their competitive advantage or unlock a larger customer base.
