GRNshift (Green Resource Nexus Solutions Inc.) was a Canadian federal corporation founded in 2023 with a mission to democratize access to sustainable technologies. Positioned at the intersection of innovation, policy, and environmental stewardship, GRNshift tackled one of the most critical challenges for Canadians: accelerating the adoption of clean technologies for households and small businesses.

It demonstrated how digital infrastructure, policy alignment, and human capital development can jointly lower barriers to clean energy adoption. Its methodologies and insights remain available as a template for future ventures enabled by Budget 2025 in the clean tech ecosystem.
