Software and technology
Custom development, SaaS platforms, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. The usual questions concern SR&ED, NRC IRAP and provincial tax credits for software development.
Advanced manufacturing
Process innovation, automation and materials development. Equipment, productivity and workforce training projects raise questions about grants, contributions and financing.
Life sciences
Medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology research. Long development cycles make the coordination of tax credits and contributions particularly important.
Clean technology
Renewable energy, sustainability and environmental technology. Several federal and provincial programs explicitly target projects with environmental benefits.
Food and agriculture
Food processing, agricultural technology and nutritional science. Sector programs such as AgriInnovate sit alongside the general measures.
Aerospace and defence
Aviation systems, defence technologies and space technology. Industrial and Technological Benefits follow a procurement logic distinct from conventional grants.
Financial services
Financial technology, blockchain and payment systems. SR&ED and innovation programs apply where there is technological uncertainty.
Construction and engineering
Building technologies, civil engineering and materials. Equipment and workforce training investments are often the entry point.
