SD Tech Fund accepting applications for funding from August 26-October 14, 2015
NOTE: This opportunity has expired or is an event which has already taken place.

Through the SD Tech Fund™, SDTC supports technologies that address the challenges of Clean Air, Soil, Water and Climate Change, including technology solutions focused on these current technology priority areas:
Responsible Natural Resource Development:
- Unconventional oil and gas and metals and minerals exploration and development: World-leading sustainability methods and processes to improve the exploration, development and value-added processing of unconventional oil and gas, metals and minerals.
Remote and Northern Community Utility Systems:
- Northern renewable energy: Adaptation and demonstration of clean and emerging renewable energy technologies and systems for remote Arctic communities.
Energy Efficiency for Industry and Communities:
- Efficient freight and heavy-duty vehicle transportation: Technologies related to next generation freight and heavy-duty vehicles with reduced carbon footprints, including EV powertrain technologies, vehicle light-weighting, advanced trains, heavy-duty vehicles and aircraft, or technologies related to EV and CNG/LNG infrastructure that will enable broad adoption.
- Industrial efficiency and productivity: Technologies that encourage resource efficiency in industrial processes.
Next Generation Technologies with Longer-term Benefits for Canada:
- Combustion-free primary energy conversion technologies: Technologies that convert primary energy sources to carbon-free energy carriers such as steam, electricity or hydrogen without combustion and with negligible emissions or waste production.
- Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security: Technologies that reduce the usage of water, increase yield and improve drought resistance of agricultural crops.
- Biodiversity Protection and Enhancement: Solutions which mitigate biodiversity loss resulting from industrial/human activity.
