Breaking Ground at Georgetown’s Clean Tech Park

Georgetown Clean Tech Park PEI

February 22, 2023

Work has begun on the future home of clean tech innovation and education in PEI

The Georgetown Clean Tech Park will be a 60-acre tax-free zone for clean tech companies. The park will be a destination that attracts companies, entrepreneurs and talent, all focused on advances in clean technology growth. It will also bring together people in key provincial priority areas including education, the economy and the environment, and will help create a new sector for growth on PEI.

The first building in the park will be the Clean Tech Learning and Innovation Centre, which will be home to the Clean Tech Academy. The Academy will offer programs in Clean Tech leadership, through a joint initiative with Holland College and the University of Prince Edward Island.
