Guide To Government Programs

Startup Canada and Innovation Canada are thrilled to be partnering to provide our Community Leaders with helpful resources to support your entrepreneurial ecosystem. I’d like to introduce you to Kate Poirier, the Director of Marketing and Outreach, and Christina McDonald, the Manager of Marketing and Outreach at Innovation Canada (CC’d here). A number of our Leaders participated in the “Your Inside Guide to Government” Webinar in December with Kate and Christina, and we are delighted to provide you with more information about the platform to share with the members of your Startup Community.

  • The platform: innovation.canada.ca – an easy one-stop-shop where you can find all the federal, provincial and territorial programs – plus a few non-profits too – available to help you achieve your business goals. Get a tailored list of programs for your needs in under 2 minutes, and save your details to get notified if anything new comes up.
  • Background: A little more information about Innovation Canada programs and the Innovation Advisors service, including how to reach them (hint: give them a call at 1-833-201-4358 and they can put you in touch when you are ready). Attached you’ll also find a brief article outlining the available services.

Government programs can play a major role in helping entrepreneurs launch, grow, and scale their businesses across Canada. Many startups are unaware of the wide range of grants, funding opportunities, tax credits, training programs, and advisory services available through federal, provincial, and regional organizations. Platforms like Innovation Canada make it easier to discover these programs by matching business owners with support that fits their industry, stage of growth, and specific needs. From research and development funding to hiring incentives and digital adoption grants, these programs are designed to reduce risk and encourage innovation. Taking advantage of government support can help businesses access valuable resources, improve competitiveness, and accelerate long term growth.
