Strengthening Canada's battery and materials ecosystem anchors demand for our resources, supports our reindustrialization goals, and supplies our clean tech manufacturers.
Accelerate Plus exists to help Canada make deliberate choices about its battery future. We work across the value chain to understand industrial needs, connect complementary capabilities, and identify priorities that can strengthen Canada’s competitiveness and future economy.
Our work is grounded in the practical realities of firms, regions and supply chains. We help identify where industrial connections are viable and what is needed to strengthen them
OUR VISION
Accelerate Plus seeks to position Canada as globally essential in the supply and production of critical battery materials and batteries used in electric vehicles and other advanced technology applications.
OUR MISSION
Accelerate Plus serves as a pan-canadian hub for Canada’s emerging advanced battery and battery materials industry, including suppliers to the EV market. We are building a coalition of key players from mining, refining, processing, advanced manufacturing and ancillary industries to build strategic alignment and to develop credible, compelling pathways for the expansion of industrial activity in Canada to support battery supply chains.
Our Three Areas of Work
A competitive battery industry needs a clear picture of the value chain, productive connections between its participants, and shared priorities grounded in evidence.
Supply Chain Intelligence
Make the ecosystem visible. We connect mapping, industry insight and analysis to identify capabilities, missing links and strategic dependencies and help Canada understand where it can compete.
Ecosystem Collaboration
Connect the people who can move priorities forward. We bring firms, researchers, governments and other partners together around specific challenges that no single organization can solve alone.
Strategy & Project Priorities
Focus effort where it can make a difference. We translate intelligence and collaboration into evidence-informed priorities, policy options and pathways that help promising industrial opportunities move forward.
