The GreenCentre’s “Advance-ON” Program provides unique, high-value services to start-ups in the sustainable chemistry and advanced materials sectors, driving their early-stage innovations to market faster so their businesses can raise the investment they need to scale and grow.

The latest five companies accepted into the program include:
- Aqua-Cell Energy

Commercializing cleantech innovations remains challenging owing to limited access to the specialized resources required for technology development and validation. The pandemic has intensified this challenge, impacting SMEs by limiting the support and resources they so desperately need.
Advance-ON provides critical technical services to drive the recovery and growth of cleantech SMEs in southern Ontario, accelerating their time to market, unlocking investment, and creating jobs.
