Cleantech Forward

In Season 2 of the Cleantech Forward podcast, host Jeanette Jackson brings listeners on a 9-episode narrative on how Canada can win the race to #netzero. First up, we’re addressing the role Capital plays in the green transition.

Access to capital is changing for ventures. In the midst of economic uncertainty, supply chain delays, and rising operational costs, ventures are having to adjust and navigate fluctuating markets.

CEOs Anthea Sargeaunt of 2S Water, and Jason Robinson of Evoco Limited join host Jeanette Jackson to explore how entrepreneurs are coping with the increased financial pressures associated with operating a business, from rising costs to cooling cleantech investor sentiments.

Last year, an independent panel of judges recognized 2S Water and Evoco Limited in our Foresight 50, a list of the 50 most investable Canadian cleantech ventures.
