Canada–UK Export Finance Partnership: Unlocking Global Clean Tech Opportunities

In 2025, CCC and the UK Export Credit Finance (UKEF) signed an MoU to deepen the industrial partnerships between Canadian and UK companies in aerospace, defence, public infrastructure, clean energy and information technology. This strategic partnership enables eligible Canadian exporters to access the benefits of both UKEF financing and Canada’s government-to-government (G2G) contracting model, while supporting cross-border collaboration, reducing risk, and enabling complex clean tech procurements.

As a follow-up to our previous session focused on the defence sector, Wilson Pearce, Senior Director, Trade Strategy & Operations at CCC and Ozgur Kutay, Country-Head, Canada at UK Export Finance will discuss more about this relationship and how it will enable Canadian exporters to participate in major international Clean Tech and SMART Utility programs projects.
