Ottawa, Ontario \u2013 Today, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), announced a collaboration with the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Innovacorp, a Nova Scotia crown corporation, on a pilot program to support the development and demonstration of smart grid technologies in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n
Innovacorp has teamed up with the Nova Scotia Department of Energy to help Nova Scotia researchers and early stage companies move their smart energy innovations closer to commercialization.<\/p>\n
SDTC is joining these two organizations in their efforts and will provide project evaluation support and will consider applicants who apply through the Smart Energy Innovation Program, for the SD Tech process.<\/p>\n
Projects considered for this program can address any aspect of smart energy, including low carbon power generation, smart grids, energy storage, and ways to make better use of our existing renewable energy resources.<\/p>\n
SDTC is excited to partner with these like-minded organizations in Nova Scotia to help entrepreneurs move their innovations closer to commercialization. This partnership allows entrepreneurs to potentially access funding from both provincial and federal funding bodies through a streamlined application process. These technologies will provide economic and environmental benefits to Nova Scotians and all Canadians\u201d said Leah Lawrence, SDTC president and CEO.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Government is proud to support Canadian companies that are focused on developing clean technologies,\u201d said Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.\u00a0 \u201cThese companies will create new products and services that are more energy efficient, emit lower carbon emissions and promote healthier communities. Companies developing clean technologies will also create entirely new jobs and business opportunities for Canadians. That\u2019s how innovation makes a better Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInnovation is essential to energy sustainability and economic success,\u201d said Energy Minister Michel Samson. \u201cBy supporting local innovators, we can help Nova Scotians build on their tremendous achievements in renewables and energy efficiency, make energy more affordable, and ensure Nova Scotia businesses get a bigger piece of this multi-billion dollar global market.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership lets Innovacorp leverage external expertise and funding to help early stage Nova Scotia companies demonstrate smart grid technologies that can improve the electricity system in the province and beyond,\u201d said Stephen Duff, Innovacorp president and CEO. \u201cCollaborations like this between federal and provincial agencies will accelerate the progress of high potential innovative companies in Canada.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
