About Us

The Transition Accelerator is putting Canada on a path to a strong competitive economy in a world driving to reduce emissions to carbon neutrality.

The Transition Accelerator drives projects, partnerships, and strategies to ensure Canada is competitive in a carbon-neutral world. We’re harnessing the global shift towards clean growth to secure permanent jobs, abundant energy, and strong regional economies across the country. 

We work with 300+ partner organizations to build out pathways to a prosperous low-carbon economy and avoid costly dead-ends along the way. By connecting systems-level thinking with real-world analysis, we’re enabling a more affordable, competitive, and resilient future for all Canadians. 

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.”
