(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/31/11 -- If you have an innovative clean technology, we want to hear from you. That is the message Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) sent out today as it announced its 20th round of funding, which will be open until October 19, 2011.
"We are looking for technology solutions that will strengthen Canada's economy by helping its main industries be more efficient, creating jobs and increasing its global competitiveness," said SDTC President and CEO Vicky Sharpe. "Canadian entrepreneurs and technology developers with new technologies and a compelling business case are encouraged to submit Statements of Interest to the SD Tech Fundâ„¢."
SDTC is a not-for-profit corporation created and funded by the Government of Canada to finance and support the late-stage development and pre-commercial demonstration of clean technologies. SDTC helps companies through the critical juncture when capital and scaling costs become formidable challenges and the risk profile deters many other investors.
