More about technology fundingShow less

Technology funding splits by what the money is for: developing technology — R&D programs and refundable credits for building product — and adopting it, where programs pay part of the cost of bringing software, automation or AI into an existing business.

Developers lean on IRAP, SR&ED and the provincial credits for digital media and e-business; adopters on audit-and-implementation grants and digital-skills wage subsidies. The two streams apply different tests: development programs assess technical risk, adoption programs assess the business case for the tooling.

Most technology programs are agnostic about the applicant’s own sector — a manufacturer automating a line qualifies as readily as a software firm — which is why this page overlaps with the manufacturing and digital transformation directories.
