Funding to pursue international R&D opportunities

Funding to pursue international R&D opportunities

We are now accepting applications for CanExport Innovation for funding to cover up to 75% of eligible costs to pursue collaborative research and development (R&D) agreements for a single technology with international partners and investors.

We accept proposals from Canadian‑owned:

  • small and medium‑sized enterprises
  • academic institutions
  • non‑government research centers

In light of COVID‑19, we support the following non‑travel activities:

  • applying for intellectual property protection
  • shipping technologies to potential partners
  • seeking expert business and legal advice
  • translating, adapting and creating promotional material
  • and more!

Apply today and grow your technology in international markets.


You're ready to grow. We're ready to help.
