Sustainable Development Technologies Canada opened applications Wednesday for its SD Tech Fund aimed at finding the “next wave of innovative clean-tech entrepreneurs.”

The fund supports technology in a number of areas, including water and energy efficiency in buildings and industry, clean energy production, small-scale renewable energy and reduced transportation emissions, to name a few.

The SD Tech fund is meant to help scale companies with these technologies and bring their products closer to market.
