His commitment to Canadian entrepreneurs has been the key driver of the many changes SDTC undertook during his tenure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We all have much to be proud of; streamlining SDTC\u2019s application process to ensure the fastest disbursement of funds for our clients, closing the gap to commercialization by further expanding our reach and supporting more scale-up companies, and contributing as a convener of Canadian cleantech leaders to best address how we navigate the IP and data driven economy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This new face of SDTC was made possible by the strategic focus of our Board led by Jim, and the talented SDTC staff I have the privilege of working with every day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To date, SDTC has invested over $1.15 billion supporting almost 400 companies, creating 13,107 jobs and while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 18.1 megatonnes annually. This is just the beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SDTC is here to act as strong, responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and to foster Canadian cleantech innovation, by driving outcomes for companies as they commercialize their products and services globally. Canada\u2019s cleantech entrepreneurs are on the verge of breaking through. We are here to support them in their efforts to Own the Podium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Download and read the full 2018 Annual Report <a
