Cleantech Research and Innovation Fund
Island organizations and communities considering a new large-scale project using clean technology may be eligible for funding through the Cleantech Research and Innovation Fund.

What is cleantech?
Clean technology, commonly referred to as cleantech, is any process, product, or service that reduces negative environmental impacts through significant energy efficiency improvements, the sustainable use of resources, or environmental protection activities.
Why set up your cleantech business on PEI?
You can gain access to test technologies on a smaller, innovative scale as PEI envisions itself as a living lab for creating a net zero province by 2040.
You'll have technologies and academic expertise at your fingertips with the Cleantech Academy, UPEI Climate Change and Adaptation School, Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation, the UPEI School of Sustainable Engineering and Holland College.
There is also tax-free space to develop and grow your business, based in Georgetown, a living lab for a Net Zero Community, where the Cleantech Academy, through UPEI and Holland College, works to ensure the cleantech workforce is skilled and ready to build your cleantech business.
