SUSTAERO is proud to announce its acceptance into Earth Tech: 2050, a prestigious nine-month accelerator program delivered in partnership between Foresight Canada and Social Innovation Canada. Earth Tech: 2050 is designed to support ventures with the potential to drive massive environmental and social impact. As part of the program, SUSTAERO will receive personalized mentorship, strategic investor connections, and direct access to a network of global industry leaders. These resources will be pivotal as the company scales its technology and advances its production across Canada.
