Description
The global clean economy sector will continue to grow in coming decades to support the transition off fossil fuels. We can help our community to thrive in this new economy by marketing Waterloo Region as a place to advance clean economy innovation. This will help us attract businesses, industries, investments, and expertise that will help to advance the clean economy both here and around the world.
The Waterloo Region Economic Development Strategy recognized the potential for Waterloo Region to continue to develop economic growth in the clean tech sector.
The first stage of work, was to produce a cluster map, through a partnership between the Region of Waterloo, Sustainable Waterloo Region, Waterloo EDC, and WR Community Energy. This step has been completed as of Spring 2022 with the production of Waterloo's Clean Economy Ecosystem. For more information please check out Launching Our Clean Economy Cluster Map blog post on the Sustainable Waterloo Region Website.
WR Community Energy
Each year, WR Community Energy hosts an annual event to announce the release of our report. This year, the theme was "Shaping Our Energy Secure Future" and the event was attended by industry, municipal staff, elected officials, and community members. These events help strengthen our community and network of those interested in decarbonizing heat. More information can be found in the WR Community Energy 2025 Year End Report here.
