ABOUT PUNEET MANNAN
I am a senior innovation leader with 15+ years of experience turning research and early stage technologies into market solutions and profitable businesses. My career spans innovation strategy, engineering consulting, oil and gas, and cleantech, giving me a unique ability to bridge technical potential with commercial opportunity. I specialize in designing and leading high-impact programs that accelerate technology adoption. Notably, I built and managed the $4.2 Energy Transition Centre and the $6M Calgary edition of the Innovation Catalyst Grant program that have unlocked new pathways for startups to scale. In my current role, I have assessed 50+ hard-tech startups and recommended funding for more than 12 of which three are already scaling operations and moving into commercial production. Beyond capital, I provide strategic mentoring, connect founders with industry partners, and structure programs that de-risk innovation. Core strengths: Business Development and Fundraising | Startup Mentorship and Technology Commercialization | Innovation Program Design and Management | Industry Partnerships and Ecosystem Building | Technology Licensing and IP Strategy
