TechNL together with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Global Affairs Canada, and various provincial partners, has announced the initiation of the Scale-up Hub: Houston program. This innovative program is designed to assist high-growth energy tech and clean tech companies from Atlantic Canada in scaling their export sales and establishing a foothold in the strategic Houston market.

**Program Overview:** The Scale-up Hub: Houston program aims to support Atlantic Canada-based companies that are focused on energy technology and clean technology. It offers a pathway to build international presence through targeted access to one of the most dynamic markets in the U.S. that is increasingly focusing on sustainable operations and renewable energy forms.

**Opportunities Provided by the Program:**

- **Business Development:** Companies will benefit from the dedicated services of in-market business development professionals who will provide strategic advice and a deep understanding of the energy sector, including operational firms and supply chain stakeholders.
- **Workspace and Networking:** Participants will have access to a shared workspace at the ION Centre in Houston, Texas, and the opportunity to attend up to two dedicated in-market events. These events include receptions with local businesses, business-to-business meetings, and venture capitalist pitch events.
- **Capital Market Access:** The program also facilitates connections to capital markets, including venture capitalists and angel investors, crucial for companies looking to scale.

**Eligibility and Application:** The program is open to technology-focused, high-growth companies within the energy and clean tech verticals that are currently selling outside of Atlantic Canada. Interested companies should note that there is a non-refundable participation fee of $2645 CAD. Up to ten companies will be accepted into the ten-month program.

**Application Deadline:** The deadline for applications is set for April 26, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. NDT. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the Scale-up Hub Houston Guidelines for detailed program information and to contact the project lead or their provincial representative for further assistance.

This initiative represents a pivotal step for Atlantic Canadian companies in the energy and clean tech sectors, providing them with the resources and support necessary to compete on a global scale.
