Canada’s cleantech industry finally got its first national map thanks to this team. Led by Vicki, the four transformed Canada’s cleantech intelligence landscape, creating the first-ever national database and taxonomy of cleantech firms. Their bi-annual survey captures over 600 responses, representing 30% of pure-play cleantech companies, and provides critical insights into capital access, scaling needs, and market challenges. By launching interactive dashboards and public-facing reports, they have made complex data accessible to government policy makers, provinces, investors, and industry. The knowledge generated informs federal policy, provincial economic strategies, and international engagement. Their work should soon enable targeted engagement, strategic program design, and evidence-based decision-making, enabling a willing government to ensure Canadian cleantech firms are accurately characterized, supported, and positioned for growth.
Sebastien brings 20 years of cleantech expertise to the database and survey, shaping taxonomy, data methodology, and sector-specific analysis. His guidance ensures high-quality insights from hundreds of validated inputs, supporting federal policies, investment strategies, and program delivery. Seb’s leadership translates complex data into actionable intelligence, helping provinces, territories, and international partners strategically position Canadian cleantech firms for growth and opportunity.
