A comprehensive approach to funding innovation and growth
Canadian governments have long been active in supporting technology risk for early-stage technologies. However, until recently they have been less supportive in grant funding for global scaling.
Strategies to take a proven technology and rapidly scaling it globally requires funding for research, global market development, hiring and training, as well as growth capital to enter markets effectively. This stage of growth is a challenge for funding and is particularly problematic for Canadian companies seeking growth into global markets. Funding is now available to support the business risk associated with these strategies.
