Some of our accomplishments

• OCTIA and the Canada Cleantech Alliance have advocated for years for Investment Tax Credits. Most recently, the federal government released a 30% refundable investment tax credit as well as a manufacturing investment tax credit for clean energy technologies. The Ontario government also announced a 10% manufacturing investment tax credit for products that are made in the province. 
• OCTIA has been instrumental in connecting clean technology companies with investors and buyers. 
• OCTIA provided very fast feedback about COVID government programs to make sure they were effective for the cleantech sector with its particularities.
• OCTIA and the Canada Cleantech Alliance brought to the attention of the Federal Government that a pre-existing fundamental source of support for the cleantech sector through SRED had frozen up during COVID. Within a few weeks funds began flowing again!
• OCTIA has also played a key role in helping the Government of Ontario understand how cleantech is a driver of economic development.
