Technology Grants and Funding in Canada

Technology funding in Canada can support the development, adoption, integration, testing, and commercialization of software, hardware, equipment, automation, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital systems. Eligibility depends on the applicant, technical scope, project stage, purchasing and implementation plan, eligible costs, risks, and measurable business change. Define the problem and acceptance criteria before approaching a funder. AI-specific funding may fit better when model development or AI-enabled decision-making is central to the work.
