Cleantech Forum North America celebrated eight visionaries driving sustainable innovation at its awards dinner, including seven companies from the 2025 Global Cleantech 100 list.
Svante, a Burnaby-based carbon capture leader, earned the Hall of Fame honor for sustained excellence and investor confidence. The Cleantech Pioneer Award went to Wal van Lierop, founder of Vancouver’s Chrysalix Venture Capital, for his role in securing $3.5 billion in cleantech funding over two decades.
“These innovators inspire optimism in the fight against climate change,” said Cleantech Group CEO Richard Youngman. The awards highlight cleantech’s critical role in achieving net-zero goals.
