Structural steel fabrication and install. Bonding and prequalification required.
Repayable capital for automation equipment. Stacks with IRAP and SR&ED.
The core stack is NRC IRAP (including the AI-for-Manufacturing stream), SR&ED on process and product R&D, clean-economy funding (Clean Technology ITC, CleanBC, Emissions Reduction Alberta), and CSBFP/BDC equipment financing — plus public supply and fabrication tenders. CanaGrants scores these against your profile; confirm eligibility on the official source before applying.
Often, yes. SR&ED is about technological uncertainty, and process improvements — new tooling, materials, automation, or scaling a process — frequently qualify even when the work happens on the production floor rather than in a lab.
Federal clean-economy investment tax credits (Clean Technology, CCUS), the CleanBC Industry Fund in BC and Emissions Reduction Alberta all fund measurable emission reductions. Many stack with IRAP and SR&ED on the same project.
Yes — equipment supply, fabrication and capital-project tenders are common across federal, provincial and MASH buyers. The Buy Canadian threshold dropping to $5M on June 15, 2026 expands preferences for Canadian manufacturers. We score each against your capacity; award decisions rest with the buyer.
