On April 17, 2020, the Government of Canada announced $250 million in funding for the Innovation Assistance Program (IAP) to assist Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). IRAP IAP provides a wage subsidy to eligible employers for up to 12 weeks. SMEs pursuing technology-driven innovation who have been unable to secure funding under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) are eligible and can apply for financial assistance under IRAP IAP. The call for applications will close Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 11:59 pm EDT. Learn more here.
On Monday, April 27th, we are pleased to welcome Bob Shand of NRC to discuss eligibility for the new IAP funding, tackle common questions as listed in the FAQ section on the Government website, and then answer your questions on this very important new funding announcement from the federal government for startups!
