Advanced Manufacturing Homebuilding Challenge | Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen)

September 26, 2024

Value

Varies
Projects should have total project costs between CAD $3M and CAD $15M.

Description

NGen is launching our Advanced Manufacturing Homebuilding Challenge to demonstrate and accelerate the application of advanced digital technologies, automated production systems, and sustainable materials in offsite industrial homebuilding. Our goal is to transform more Canadian homebuilding into scalable and flexible advanced manufacturing processes capable of meeting future housing needs, reducing production costs, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

This Challenge is made possible through the financial support of the Government of Canada which, in its 2024 budget, provided $50 million over two years for a new Homebuilding Technology and Innovation Fund to be launched by NGen. We are aiming to match that amount with $150 million in additional contributions from industry and other public and private-sector investors to support a targeted $200 million investment in housing innovation in Canada.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible funding recipients include:

  • for-profit organizations,
  • not-for-profit organizations that facilitate and fund research and development on behalf of the ecosystem and whose funding and/or revenue is received primarily from private-sector or industry organizations,
  • non-federal Crown corporations whose funding is from commercial activities,
  • indigenous organizations.

 

Other publicly funded not-for-profit organizations, post-secondary institutions, federal Crown Corporations, and government departments or agencies are not eligible to receive NGen funding directly, although they may bring their contributions to projects or be subcontracted by funded recipients to carry out project activities.

International organizations (offshore companies and research organizations without an incorporated presence in Canada) may also participate in the projects, but any project activity undertaken by these organizations will not be eligible for funding.

Eligible Expenses

  • NGen will reimburse 33% of total eligible project costs if the project is deploying existing advanced manufacturing technologies (i.e., technology purchased in Canada or from abroad) or repeating deployments of previously developed technologies.
  • NGen will reimburse 36% of total eligible project costs if the project is developing new advanced manufacturing processes/technologies through this proposal.
  • NGen will reimburse 38% of total eligible project costs if the project includes affordable home developments or social housing development partner.

 

Projects should have total project costs between CAD $3M and CAD $15M. Any deviations to this will require written NGen approval. Projects with total costs over this amount will be accepted; however, NGen funding support will be capped at CAD $5.7 million. NGen reserves the right to conduct an interview with project teams if more project details or clarification is required.
