Clean Tech on Prince Edward Island

Tackling climate change now and in the future will require our best ideas, ingenuity and enterprise. We need viable, long-term solutions as we work to achieve our target of being the first province in Canada to reach net zero.

What is clean tech?

Clean technology 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.

Accelerating clean tech growth on Prince Edward Island will:

  • Diversify our economic sectors through an emerging economic sector cluster;
  • Help companies across diverse sectors adopt clean technology, optimize waste, and use clean energy, supporting long-term competitiveness and sustainable economic growth;
  • Accelerate PEI’s path to net zero GHG emissions to help achieve our 2040 target.

CleanTech Park

Georgetown’s CleanTech Park is under construction and Islanders are invited to an open house to learn more about the project on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 5:30pm at the Kings Playhouse.

This park will seek to grow PEI’s expertise and demonstrate ecological and economical practices as a baseline for sustainable futures.
