Transforming Industries: Announcing the Foresight 50, Canada’s Most Investible Cleantech Companies

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian cleantech is rapidly reaching market maturity, with many market-ready solutions deploying, becoming profitable, and solving real-world challenges for industry leaders across the country, and the world. Last night in Calgary, the energy was electric as Foresight, Canada’s largest cleantech innovation and adoption accelerator, recognized 50 of the country’s top ventures in the 2025 Foresight 50 honouree list. This 5th annual list spotlights Canada’s most investible cleantech companies, and this year’s announcement is historic: All 50 are first-time honourees, underscoring the extraordinary depth and velocity of Canada’s cleantech pipeline.

Since 2021, past recipients have collectively raised over $2.6 billion in capital, demonstrating the program’s ability to identify high-growth ventures and provide them with the necessary visibility, investor connections, and support needed to scale. This year, as with previous cycles, the 50 ventures are not just building businesses; they are rapidly transforming core industries, strengthening Canada’s competitiveness, and diversifying the national economy. From converting waste into valuable commodities and revolutionizing carbon capture, to mitigating climate risks and strengthening the energy sector with resilient solutions, their solutions are tackling the essential and real-world operational, productivity, and efficiency challenges.

With the global clean energy market alone expected to triple to $2 trillion by 2035, the impact of these innovators is what will seize this opportunity of our generation—allowing Canada to secure a prosperous, sovereign economy, create high-value jobs, and lead the global clean transition.
