Innovative Solutions Canada

Innovative Solutions Canada is a Government of Canada innovation funding program that was launched to help Canadian innovators start, grow, and get to market. They have two streams to fund Canadian R&D and test prototypes in real-life settings. Challenge Stream: They work with government organizations to launch challenges and Canadian innovators compete for funding to prove the feasibility of their solution and build a prototype. Testing Stream: They buy late-stage, innovative prototypes from Canadian businesses and test them in operational settings with government departments.
