Program Profile
• Through a competitive procurement process, the government buys innovative pre-commercial goods and services, and tests them in government departments and through other partners
• A win-win for both Canadian businesses and testing partners • Businesses are better able to bridge the pre-commercialization gap and enter the marketplace • Partners test, assess and keep innovations that are not yet commercially available
• The Build in Canada Innovation Program was made permanent in 2012.
• As of 2016, annual funding will be $40 million.
