Business Growth Program

What’s a major hindrance to decarbonizing our buildings? Slow adoption of cleantech solutions. Many promising ventures face challenges in scaling and deploying their built environment solutions due to gaps in business strategy, market access, and expert guidance. The Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association (SSRIA) and Foresight Canada are bridging these gaps, offering the necessary support to turn potential into reality through the SSRIA Business Growth Program. 

Together, we’re on a mission to drive sustainability in Canada’s built environment forward by supporting ventures to secure their next commercial pilot and connect with buyers. 

The program offers:

  • Comprehensive business gap assessment
  • Expertise from industry-leading advisors
  • Customized workshops
  • 1:1 coaching
  • High-profile networking opportunities
  • Showcase event with a cash prize

Spaces are limited. Eligible ventures meeting the following criteria should apply:

  • Have solutions to reduce GHG emissions from buildings
  • Located in or expanding to Alberta
  • Progressive leaders ready to invest in growth

Evaluating existing processes to identify opportunities for growth and optimization is a critical component of this program, therefore it is not applicable to early-stage ventures.

Apply now to be considered for future opportunities in 2025.
