About Us

The energy transition is disrupting global power. The Transition Accelerator is here to help Canada win — economically and geopolitically.

We are an independent energy and industrial policy organization working with 300+ partners across government, industry, finance, and Indigenous Nations. We pair rigorous analysis with trusted relationships to help build the systems, supply chains and competitive industries that will define Canada’s place in the future economy.

The Transition Accelerator’s work spans across the country and across sectors, with an umbrella of initiatives to address the most important issues in Canada’s energy transition. These include the Building Decarbonization Alliance, Calgary Region Hydrogen Hydrogen Hub, Centre for Industrial Policy, and Electrifying Canada.

We use our unique methodology to:

Define the positive future we want to realize

Create credible, capable and compelling pathways to this future

Launch self-sustaining, industry-driven coalitions to advance down these pathways

“Transitions are as much about people and behaviour as they are about technology and economics. The Transition Accelerator understands these dynamics, which is why we focus on systems, not individual technologies.”

Dr. Dan Wicklum, founding CEO, The Transition Accelerator
