In exchange for their financial support and participation in governance, GreenCentre Canada industrial stakeholders can engage the centre in fee-for-service development contracts. Working with the centre, industrial partners will be able to leverage their development dollars through various provincial and federal funding programs.
In addition, the centre will introduce and manage the SME Commercialization Fund (SCF.) This program will provide funding for one year up to a maximum of $150,000 in support of activities such as Green assessment, product and application development, scale-up manufacturing and targeted basic research. The awarded funds will allow SMEs to access the specialized services available at GreenCentre or through the centre’s many industry partners.
