The Innovation Scouting Fund seeks to directly address real-world business challenges identified by leading Canadian food manufacturers, distributors, foodservice, or grocery retail firms.
The program will provide funding support for the winning foodtech innovator(s) to collaborate directly with a notable player in the Canadian food landscape. These funds will facilitate a robust pilot project, covering essential costs for the innovator and the partnering firm, enabling effective testing and validation in real-world applications.
Each Innovation Scouting Fund call is supported by a Call Details document that outlines the priority areas for projects. Applicants will outline their proposed solution and detail their readiness for a pilot.
