REASEARCH AND ENGAGEMENT
To develop Manitoba’s Roadmap for a Green Economy, research first identified 39 green economic opportunities, each systematically assessed using a comprehensive framework. This rigorous evaluation highlighted six high-potential opportunities. Key stakeholders were then engaged to refine the focus identifying three priority opportunities for action.
Explore the background information, research and feedback that went into developing the Roadmap.
RESEARCH
Opportunities Report
The Manitoba’s Green Economy Opportunities Report outlined the six key green economic industry level opportunities, identified through in-depth research and analysis, that build on Manitoba’s advantages. These high-potential opportunities are: wind energy, green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, zero-emission commercial vehicles, small modular reactors (SMRs), and critical minerals.
This report was developed to provide an objective and research-based assessment of these six industry opportunities for Manitoba, and to guide discussions with stakeholders at the forum to agree on and prioritize the best opportunities for our province in the green economy. Each of these opportunities has the potential to create jobs and attract investment, but they are interconnected, and development will be gradual.
Opportunity Test Cases
The Opportunities report includes excerpts of sample test cases for each opportunity. The full test cases are also available for a more in-depth review.
Stakeholder Engagement
Manitoba Green Economy Forum
The first Manitoba Green Economy Forum was held in October 2024, bringing together 130 key industry leaders – including government officials, business leaders, academia, NGOs, SMEs, and Indigenous partners – to share feedback and insights that we used to develop the Roadmap to help guide our province towards a greener future.
Event feedback: InVisionEdge Report
The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce partnered with inVision Edge to facilitate a Strategy Feedback Session at the Green Economy Forum, aiming to gather stakeholder input on the six key opportunities the Manitoba Green Advantage team identified. inVision Edge prepared this report, which we used to channel information and feedback into the Roadmap.
