There’s only three weeks left to submit an application for Innovate BC’s Ignite program, which awards up to $300,000 to accelerate commercialization for B.C.-based research and development projects that are developing game-changing innovations.
Ignite presents an exciting opportunity to British Columbians as it offers up to $300,000 to research and industry partnerships that are innovating in the areas of natural resources and applied sciences.
Supporting the Province of B.C.’s Stronger BC Economic Plan, the Ignite program helps aid B.C. businesses with the funds needed to add value to industries, create new jobs, and accelerate growth in B.C.’s economy. Since Ignite launched in 2016, $10.7 million has been awarded to 41 projects.
“We encourage all eligible B.C. innovators to apply and capitalize on the opportunity to receive support that can help bring their groundbreaking ideas to market,” said Peter Cowan, President + CEO of Innovate BC.
“From its inception, the Ignite program has been instrumental in helping foster cutting-edge innovations and solutions, bolstering B.C.’s vibrant ecosystem and solving real-world challenges for the region and its residents. We look forward to seeing the next wave of transformative projects that will emerge from this year’s applicants.”
The funding offered through the Ignite program opens doors to many B.C.-based companies and researchers working to solve significant challenges seen in B.C. Former Ignite winning projects are providing solutions in the areas of cleantech, energy, mining, forestry, and agriculture.
