Canada’s clean-tech funding created a global powerhouse. Now scandal threatens to tear it down
In just over 20 years, Sustainable Development Technology Canada propelled the country’s clean technology industry from the shadows onto the world stage. That was before mismanagement and conflicts of interest led to political outcry and threatened to tear it all apart.
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was once a key force behind the growth of Canada's emerging clean-technology sector, gaining support from both Liberal and Conservative governments. Established in 2001, this publicly funded organization operated independently from government bureaucracy, providing crucial financial support to entrepreneurs seeking funding for their clean-tech innovations.
