  • Alberta companies can also apply for funding under the Alberta Export Support Fund
  • Ontario companies can apply for funding with the Export Market Access Program
  • Quebec companies can also apply for funding under the provincial export program
  • EUREKA – EUREKA brings together small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), large companies, research centres, universities, and other innovators from EUREKA countries to work together on market-driven industrial R&D. EUREKA coordinates national financial support from EUREKA countries for industry led projects involving multiple international partners. The Canadian side of this is organized by NRC IRAP.
