The Western Innovative Initiative (WINN) will return in the fall of 2014 with a second round of funding.
The five-year, $100 million federal funding initiative lists the following objectives:
- Commercialize innovative technology-based products, processes and services;
- Stimulate greater private sector investments in commercialization activities;
- Increase the number of jobs for highly qualified personnel in Western Canada; and
- Assist in industry growth
Western Canada-based Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) who have existing developed technologies and are seeking opportunities to move into the marketplace should be on the lookout when the next call for proposals opens. Under the WINN initiative, your company could receive funding for up to 50% of eligible costs in the form of a repayable interest-free loan.
