B.C. Fast Pilot │ Innovate BC

June 3, 2024

Value

Up to $200,000 in joint funding for projects, depending on available funds.

Description

The B.C. Fast Pilot program supports B.C.’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by facilitating the pilot testing of domestic technology innovations in real-world environments. This program helps SMEs measure and prove the value of their solutions through pilot-scale installation and field testing with an early adopter thereby de-risking the technology for potential customers.

Eligible Applicants

Applicants must:

  • Be a B.C.-based, incorporated business; 
  • Have less than 500 employees on payroll;
  • Have developed a prototype and are ready to demonstrate the technology at a customer site; 
  • Have an early adopter or potential customer identified; 
  • Meet the eligibility criteria for financial support from NRC IRAP and;
  • Secure an NRC IRAP ITA (see guidelines for details). 

Eligible Expenses

This is a cost-shared program delivered in partnership with NRC IRAP and Innovate BC. Depending on the needs of
the project, B.C. Fast Pilot funding can support SME technical salaries, contractor fees, capital costs, travel and other
necessary costs incurred during the project implementation.

For projects that are selected for funding, NRC IRAP will cover a component of salary and contractor costs, while
Innovate BC will cover a component of other project costs (equipment, material, travel). Projects should include
both categories of costs, to outline the need for government funding from both agencies in this cost-shared
program.
