Programme de la COVID-19
The COVID-19 Program is focused on unlocking solutions to protect the health and safety of all Canadians and our economy through the development, deployment, and scaling of digital technologies.
Effective July 1st, we will no longer be accepting new ideas for our COVID-19 Program.
Since our COVID-19 Program launched in March, we received over 600 exceptional ideas. Given the strength of these submissions, we anticipate that the $60 million available for co-investment through our COVID-19 Program will soon be fully committed.
Thank you to the hundreds of organizations that submitted ideas. Your interest, enthusiasm, and innovative ideas will keep Canadians safe now and in the future and contribute to Canada’s economic recovery.
Although our intake process has closed for this Program, your project idea may be eligible for other sources of investment and future calls for proposals. We look forward to sharing this information with you soon.
In the meantime, you can find more information about our COVID program ici and check out some key funding opportunities by accessing the COVID-19 Resource Page. Questions? Please contact info@digitalsupercluster.ca.
