There are five superclusters across the country in a number of sectors. I'd be happy to elucidate which sectors and the types of investments.
They are required to receive class-matching. There are specific requirements around what is required when the supercluster makes an investment. Each supercluster has developed criteria for membership. Some have an open membership model whereby interested companies can apply; others charge a membership fee.
These are actually organizations that have applied for support from the Government of Canada. There was a competitive process, but they have an independent board and they manage their affairs.
