Canada's Cleantech to Asia
- Japan Pathway Mapping
01
This project is delivered for our Client Reaction (RXN) Hub, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the scale-up and manufacturing of chemical technologies that address complex challenges based in Kingston, Ontario.
The Report aims to identify Japanese corporates and ecosystem players with potential to invest in, adopt, or acquire Canadian clean technologies, and to provide actionable insights into their investment behaviour and engagement pathways.
The 2025 trade turmoil is a wake-up call for Canada to reduce US reliance and take bolder steps to Asia for diversified capital and supply chain. For the cleantech sector, Japan is an ideal entry point, with urgent decarbonization goals and a track record of corporate-led investment overseas.

Non-Dilutive Cleantech Funding Programs in Canada
A quick mapping of non-dilutive funding opportunities for Canadian cleantech Founders. Canada offers incredible grant opportunities at both the federal and provincial levels for cleantech startups. VCs often expect Founders to acquire non-dilutive funding before they put money in. Founders should fully explore these resources for a smarter capital stack.
