As tech and innovation companies from Newfoundland and Labrador continue to make an impact nationally and internationally, a local firm is expanding its business development opportunities in North America with support from the Provincial Government.
Today the Honourable Andrew Parsons, Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, announced that the Provincial Government is contributing more than $98,000 in non-repayable funding from the Business Development Support program to ClearRisk, a provider of web-based software and data solutions for medium to large-sized organizations. ClearRisk’s Risk Management Solutions platform is designed to enhance overall business performance through operational excellence.
This funding will assist the company with increased international marketing activities, including content development, social media, online ads, and participation in various North American trade shows. It will help ClearRisk to establish itself as a brand leader in Risk Management Information System solutions in the public sector/municipalities and property management space in the United States and Canada.
Founded by Craig Rowe in 2006, ClearRisk works with risk managers and senior management from over 150 organizations all across North America in retail, property management, municipalities, technology, and many other industries.
Investments in our tech and innovation sector mean more jobs and a stronger economy for our province.

“We are delighted with the continued support of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Since our inception in 2006, the Province has been an important partner. This funding helps companies like ClearRisk take even more risk. We are always investing in our product and people, but when the Province co-invests we are able to do a lot more. This means more positions created, a better product for our customers and more success in the market. I’m very proud that ClearRisk has been a significant contributor to the NL tech sector in talent development, jobs created and contributions to the economy and community. Partnerships like the one with the Province benefit everyone.”
