Manufacturing Grants and Funding in Canada

Canadian manufacturing funding can support production equipment, automation, process improvement, energy performance, innovation, workforce capability, facilities, and commercialization. A manufacturing business must still show that the proposed activities, costs, location, and timing satisfy the funder’s rules. Define the production constraint, current baseline, proposed change, implementation capacity, financing, and measurable operational outcome. Province, subsector, and project purpose may change eligibility even when the applicant clearly manufactures goods.
