Evok Innovations is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage clean energy and sustainability technologies.

Evok Innovations

Launched in 2016 through a partnership between Suncor, Cenovus and the BC Cleantech CEO Alliance, Evok Innovations (Evok), is committed to developing and deploying cutting-edge clean energy technology.

Evok’s inaugural fund aimed to accelerate the development of critical energy transition technologies across North America. The fund has made 16 investments in decarbonization technologies, ranging from clean hydrogen and carbon-to-value, to long-duration energy storage.

Building on this legacy, Evok launched Fund II in 2022, which will target early-stage investments across North America in key industrial decarbonization verticals, including carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), low-carbon fuels, clean energy and grid innovations, mobility, advanced materials and circularity.

We are thrilled to announce that Evok Innovations has led a $58.4 million Series B funding round for ZwitterCo. This investment marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable water treatment solutions.
 
ZwitterCo’s groundbreaking zwitterionic membrane technology is poised to transform industries by providing unmatched filtration capabilities for even the most challenging waste streams. This technology comes at a pivotal time as global temperatures rise, driving water shortages and increasing fouling of surface waters around the world. This technology not only unlocks previously untreatable wastewater streams, reducing waste and operating costs across a range of industries, it also enhances global access to clean water in an increasingly water-scarce age. 
 
At Evok, we are dedicated to backing visionary companies that drive impactful change. ZwitterCo's innovative approach aligns strongly with our mission to foster sustainability and mitigate the effects of climate change. We are proud to partner with DCVC, BHP,  Munich Re Ventures and others on this important investment. 
 
Join us in celebrating this partnership and stay tuned for more updates on how together, we are making a difference!

Toronto based e-Zinc, announced they have raised an additional USD $31 million in new funding as they gear up for field demonstration projects of their unique zinc-air battery. 

This oversubscribed Series A2 round, led by Evok, will accelerate e-Zinc’s establishment of a manufacturing base that will enable commercialization of their long-duration energy storage technology, which promises lower cost and increased safety compared to conventional batteries.

Congrats to our portfolio companies, Ebb Carbon and Planetary, for being selected to compete in the last stage of XPRIZE Carbon Removal. 

The 20 finalists have demonstrated their potential to make contributions to a unique, novel #CDR effort that rebalances Earth’s carbon cycle by removing #CO2 directly from the atmosphere or the oceans and sequestering it durably and sustainably. 

XPRIZE Carbon Removal has challenged the final teams to remove 1,000 net tonnes of CO2 during the final year of the competition. The teams will also be measured on the potential of their technology to scale towards removing carbon on a megatonne scale in the coming years, and at the gigatonne scale by 2050.
