Program Description
The objective of the Idea to Innovation (I2I) Grants is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector and promote its transfer to a new or established Canadian company. The I2I Grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential. This is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.
Duration:
- Market assessment: up to one year
- Phase I: up to one year
- Phase IIa: from 6 to 18 months
- Phase IIb: up to two years
