Who We Are
We are Passionate about the Environment
Clean energy and clean environment are the cornerstones of our founding principles.
Our Goals:
🌎 To contribute to the switch into renewable energy by developing new sources, and step away from burning fossil fuels that are polluting the only world we have.
🌎 To be on the vanguard of CleanTech industries by collaborating with like-minded people on worthwhile projects and bring new technologies to market opportunities.
🌎 To give back something of substance to people who are in need.
🌎 To be a source of positive change for a sustainable planet.
What We Do
Our Blue Planet is a Canadian Innovations group that works with University Researchers to develop novel Clean Technologies.
Once we have our MVP, we elevate the concept to a standalone venture and bring on a dedicated team to further test and build out the product as well as the take to market strategy.
Innovation is what gets us up in the morning and frequently keeps us up late at night, exploring new ideas on our white boards.
We are looking for big leaps and disruptors in technology and the marketplace, and to embrace change on all fronts.
There’s an urgency to get things done around here and time can’t move fast enough for us.
There is always a list of new ideas to be explored and reach beyond the obvious. We live to Innovate!
ANNOUNCEMENT
🌎 Our Blue Planet is pleased to announce that NanoTerraTech has moved from a University Capstone project, to a standalone venture with two fulltime dedicated Graduate Researchers.
🌎 As an Industry Partner, Our Blue Planet has been invited to co-locate in the UBCO Cleantech Hub.
