Trusted Partners

Partnerships are central to ERA’s success and critical to delivering on its commitment to drive commercialization. Working with trusted partners across the Canadian innovation ecosystem creates a unified approach to reducing GHG emissions and securing Alberta’s lower carbon success.

Supporting the Partnership Intake Program, ERA’s Trusted Partners allow ERA to leverage funds and due diligence, share risk, and reduce administrative burden for applicants. ERA works with strategic trusted partnerships in Alberta, with the federal government, and across the country where appropriate. ERA will accept referrals for projects well-aligned with the mandates of both ERA and the Trusted Partner.
