There are well over 130! innovation funding programs available for Alberta technology driven businesses that provide support for R&D, prototype development, testing, field/commercial demonstration, market launch, commercialization, export and all. And, there are an additional 30+ employment and training grants and subsidies.

Many technology driven businesses are not aware of the depth or breadth of the innovation funding landscape and are completely mystified by where to start and very often do not have the time, energy or resources to research these funding programs or prepare funding submissions.

Although there are websites that assist businesses learn about innovation funding, researching these sites can be a tedious and time consuming task that turns up a lot of information but not enough specific funding information as per a company’s requirements. Without developing a comprehensive understanding of the depth and breadth of the innovation funding landscape, a company will miss learning about the funding options available.
