Toronto is a leader in cleantech organization clusters, according to a list published last week by the
Cleantech Group. Toronto organizations
MaRS and the
Ontario Clean Water Initiative both made the cut on a list that ranks the world's "Top 10 cleantech cluster organizations for 2010".
"... a cleantech cluster organization
as an economic development organization aimed at growing jobs in a
specific geographic region. Among a cleantech cluster's main goals are
to promote innovation and investment."
"MaRS provides business advice and mentorship, market intelligence,
entrepreneurship education, seed capital and access to critical talent,
customer and partner networks...."
"The Ontario Clean Water Initiative is a collaboration of organizations
dedicated to developing Ontario as a global center of expertise for
safe, clean, affordable and sustainable water and sanitation solutions.
Ontario has considerable water related assets, from one of the largest
bodies of fresh water in the world to a strong regulatory regime, an
internationally recognized research community, and an established track
record in world class water tech (e.g. ZENON, acquired by GE, and
Trojan Technologies)."
