âClimat et DĂ©fense, mĂȘme combat ?
âLes piles Ă combustible des autobus Ă hydrogĂšne sont nĂ©es d'un contrat de la DĂ©fense nationale, en 1983. La fibre de carbone des Ă©oliennes modernes a Ă©tĂ© inventĂ©e dans un laboratoire militaire britannique.
âCe n'est donc pas nouveau. Ce qui l'est, c'est l'ampleur du capital.
âLe Canada investit des sommes sans prĂ©cĂ©dent dans la dĂ©fense, avec un intĂ©rĂȘt croissant pour les technologies Ă double usage incluant des innovations qui peuvent renforcer la sĂ©curitĂ© et la rĂ©silience tout en faisant progresser les solutions climatiques. Le fonds StrongNorth de BDC Capital est prĂȘt Ă y dĂ©ployer 500 M$.
âDes navires maritimes Ă©lectriques aux Ă©nergies renouvelables dans lâArctique, en passant par les aĂ©ronefs sans Ă©quipage Ă longue portĂ©e, les entreprises qui vivent dĂ©jĂ cette convergence seront sur scĂšne.
âComment une entreprise en technologies climatiques obtient-elle concrĂštement une part de ce capital pour accĂ©lĂ©rer son propre dĂ©veloppement, et inversement comment transfĂ©rer les innovations de la dĂ©fense dans le domaine climatique ?
âJoignez-vous Ă Innovation Climat MontrĂ©al et BDC pour une soirĂ©e consacrĂ©e aux aspects pratiques de cette nouvelle occasion.

âClimate & Defence: the same fight ?
âThe fuel cells powering hydrogen buses began as a 1983 contract from Canada's Department of National Defence. The carbon fibre that makes modern wind turbine blades possible was invented in a British military laboratory.
âSo this is not new. What's new is the scale of the capital.
âCanada is investing unprecedented amounts in defence, with a growing focus on dual-use technologies including innovations that can strengthen security and resilience while also advancing climate solutions. BDC Capital's StrongNorth Fund is ready to deploy $500M into exactly that.
âFrom electric marine vessels and Arctic renewable energy to long-range uncrewed aircrafts, the companies already living this convergence will be on stage.
âHow does a climate tech company actually get a share of this capital to accelerate its own development, and on the other side, how can we transfer innovations from the defense sector to the climate field?
âJoin Innovation Climat MontrĂ©al and BDC for an evening exploring the practical side of this emerging opportunity.
