A Vancouver company ranks as the world’s top green technology innovator.
TIME partnered with data firm Statista on the second annual ranking of the World’s Top GreenTech Companies, naming 250 top performing companies operating within the green technologies wheelhouse.
While only five Canadian companies made the list, representing just 2% of the total, it’s worth noting that statistic includes the top two companies ranked: Vancouver-based nuclear energy startup General Fusion and Calgary-based Eavor.
General Fusion, which plans to go public on the U.S. stock exchange through a $1B SPAC deal this year, has accrued a portfolio of 200 issued and pending patents since its founding in 2002, and continues its legacy of clean energy innovation via the company’s proprietary Magnetized Target Fusion technology.
“For more than 20 years, we have been building and proving our technology,” says Greg Twinney, Chief Executive Officer of General Fusion.
General Fusion is a member of the BC Tech Association.
BC Tech is the largest member-led technology non-profit in British Columbia, and we’re dedicated to turning startups and scaleups into the anchor companies of tomorrow. Our work supports members to grow and diversify their talent pool, acquire new customers, access capital and accelerate their scaleup journey. Technology is a key industry for BC’s future and builds resiliency in every industry. Today, every company is a tech company. Join now.
“Being named TIME’s top GreenTech company of 2026 is a testament to the incredible work of our team and a recognition of our innovative approach to transforming the world’s energy supply through fusion energy,” he stated, adding: “We are honoured to receive this recognition at a pivotal moment in our journey to become the first publicly traded pure-play fusion company.”
“We’re on the path to industry-defining technical milestones to deliver practical fusion power in the next decade,” the CEO believes.
Eavor, meanwhile, was the only Canadian company to make TIME’s list both years.
Within the top 100, Brookfield Renewable Partners and Toronto’s Hydrostor are present.
Outside the top 100, Calgary’s Carbon Upcycling also made TIME’s list.
