Build a Winning Application for the SDTC’s Sustainable Development Tech Fund

August 10, 2011 RICCentre

How to Build a Winning Application


The
Statement of Interest (SOI) Workshops will provide prospective applicants with key information and practical guidance to prepare a quality SOI submission.

During the workshop, the SDTC Applications team will present an overview of SDTC funding mandate, which includes the development and demonstration of new Canadian clean technology innovations that address issues of climate change, clean air, clean water, water conservation and soil quality.

The session will enable prospective applicants to assess the potential fit of their technology with SDTC’s SD Tech Fund, and to gain an understanding of the application process and key evaluation criteria.

Workshop topics include:

Stage of technology development – when to submit

  • Pre-commercial (beyond proof of concept and prior to commercialization)
