About this event

The voluntary carbon market is growing fast and finally, high-quality, high-durability carbon removal is taking centre stage. Canada is well-positioned to be a carbon management leader globally, but catalyzing the market will take not only innovation and investment in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) companies, but also, purchasers.

MaRS Discovery District has been supporting the growth of high-potential, high impact Canadian technology companies for over two decades. Building off our support for the supply of carbon management companies through the CDR Accelerator, the Mission from MaRS program is supporting the demand side of this equation by becoming one of the first pre-purchasers of carbon removal credits in the country from exclusively Canadian ventures. Join us on April 23 to learn how this purchase turns talk into action in the ecosystem, and what this market needs moving forward.


Who should attend?

  • Investment firms
