Today, one in 15 Vancouverites works in the green economy.

Green and Digital Demonstration Program (GDDP) and its subsequent regional expansion, as well as our work with the industrial business community on the Flats Economic Development Strategy and Industrial Insights Research. It also includes the digital and in-person programming of Thriving Vancouver, Startup City: Impact, and our Cleantech Capital Mentorship Program and Cleantech Investment Showcase.

In addition to designing initiatives to grow this sector, we monitor the health and trends of our green economy – which is why we have issued an update on job numbers every three years (2010, 2013, 2016). The upcoming 2018 report is a deeper dive into that data – and you get to sneak a peek at it today.
