Expression of interest application deadline – 5 PM MST Jan 15, 2021

This program is designed to de-risk the commercialization process by providing funds and coaching to qualified high potential, high growth, technology Alberta small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to enter into a partnership with a potential client to conduct a pilot demonstration to trial and prove the technical and business merits of their product.

Qualified SMEs may be eligible for up to $150,000 in funding over a maximum one-year term.

The objective is to support SMEs to commercialize their products and achieve optimal market position to increase revenue and potentially expand into global markets.

This program is a good fit for SMEs that:

  • have products that are near commercialization (product is ready for demonstration and testing in an operational environment);

  • can secure a strategic partner before applying to the second stage of the program due diligence;
    can complete the demonstration pilot within one year; and

  • can reasonably expect sales results or a distribution agreement if the pilot is successful.
