March 20, 2015 – Toronto, Ontario
John Carmichael, Member of Parliament for Don Valley West, and the Honourable Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology), today announced an investment in Clear Blue Technologies Inc. through the National Research Council of Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Mr. Carmichael and Minister of State Holder were at Aquavista at Bayside to promote the use of the company's innovative technology at the condo development.
Clear Blue Technologies will receive up to $92,000 in funding through NRC-IRAP to advance the development of its Smart Off-Grid technology that powers off-grid devices such as street lights, security cameras and mobile power systems.
Clear Blue Technologies is a Toronto-based company whose founders have more than 20 years of experience in the cleantech, engineering and high-technology fields. Its Smart Off-Grid solar and wind controller is designed to be easily integrated into a variety of off-grid products, and its Illumience cloud software enables the systems to be monitored, maintained and serviced over the Internet.
"The support and funding from NRC-IRAP have been crucial to the development and enhancement of our technology, which has provided the basis for a growing, thriving business. We now have installations across Canada and the U.S., and we are expanding our business to Europe, the Middle East and Asia. This has allowed us to create new jobs within the company while helping the environment by deploying green energy solutions."
