Our Story
Canadian market is complex, companies are often unsure of how to get started.
Our unique expertise to navigate the Canadian economic and regulatory landscape attracted and retained leading-edge clean economy clients like Google’s Nest Labs, Stem (a behind-the-meter energy storage provider), and Alectra Utilities as well as industry associations such as the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA). MarketStep Consulting was founded to continue helping companies find success in the Canadian market — contributing to national economic development and to create an overall positive impact.
