Investment thesis
Foresight positions itself as a bridge between industry adopters and cleantech innovators, aiming to build a competitive, sustainable clean economy in Canada. For adopters, it helps identify and de-risk cleantech adoption to cut costs and environmental footprints. For innovators, it provides Canada's largest cleantech mentor network, capital acumen, fractional executive support, and pathways to global markets. It takes a problem-driven, sector-spanning approach across critical Canadian industries such as food and water, infrastructure, and natural resources, and builds regional innovation ecosystems from coast to coast, including the BC Net Zero Innovation Network.
