SDTC issues call for next round of funding
Sustainable Development Technology Canada is receiving applications for its 10th round of funding up until October 11. Specifically, it’s “actively seeking applications for technologies that provide clean water and clean soil solutions, and continues to look for technology solutions related to clean air and climate change.”
Applicants basically assemble a consortium of private and public sector partners that agree to fund two-thirds of the project. SDTC then supplies the remaining third. It’s a great model, and many interesting projects have resulted. If you’ve got a company and want to demonstrate how it solves a specific business or environmental concern, you may want to consider applying.
