Innovation

Ninety per cent of the innovations we’ll benefit from in the next decade haven't been developed yet. Atlantic Canadian companies that innovate with speed and precision will thrive. Innovation is vital to Atlantic Canada’s prosperity and a key priority at ACOA.

We can help you with financing:

  • your R&D projects, and
  • the acquisition and installation of leading-edge technology to enhance your firm's overall productivity and competitiveness.

The Atlantic Innovation Fund encourages partnerships among private-sector firms, universities, colleges and other research institutions in Atlantic Canada that develop new or improved products, processes or services.

The Business Development Program offers unsecured, interest-free loans for things like labour, material costs and new equipment.
