Frequently asked questions
How is GreenCentre funded?
GreenCentre operates with core funding from federal and provincial economic development agencies, including FedDev Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development. It also earns revenue through contract research, service fees, and equity returns from successful spinouts, though it is structured as a non-profit technology transfer catalyst rather than a conventional investment fund.
What sectors does GreenCentre focus on?
The organization concentrates on hard-science cleantech: advanced materials, industrial water treatment, battery materials, critical minerals recovery, and sustainable polymer chemistry. It has also deepened its footprint in electrochemical energy storage and rare-earth element processing in recent years as Canada prioritizes its critical minerals supply chain.
Who should approach GreenCentre?
University researchers, technology transfer offices, and early-stage cleantech founders with a chemistry or advanced materials innovation that has completed basic academic research but lacks the experimental proof points for institutional venture funding. GreenCentre is particularly active in Ontario and Quebec, though its mandate is national.
