Three B.C. export companies are finalists for a 2023 BC Export Award in clean technology.
This category recognizes a company that exports and uses technology and-or a business model that lowers costs, reduces the company's environmental footprint or waste and makes more efficient use of natural resources. The winner will be announced at an in-person daytime awards event Feb. 10 at the Terminal City Club.
The finalists are:
