Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program | The Regional Economic Growth Through Innovation (REGI) initiative builds on the objectives of the Innovation and Skills Plan. The goal of REGI is to provide streamlined, nationally consistent and yet regionally tailored support for business productivity and scale-up, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and women entrepreneurs and other underrepresented groups, and assist the enhancement of regional industrial and technology clusters and regional innovation ecosystems. The program will provide assistance through two program streams:
In 2021-22 CanNor will transfer some funding from IDEANorth to flow through REGI in order to increase support to businesses. The Women Entrepreneurship Strategy (WES) provides nationally coordinated, regionally tailored investments through the WES Ecosystem Fund, a five-year program to help non-profit, third-party organizations deliver support for women entrepreneurs and address gaps in the innovation ecosystem. Contributions issued under WES are non-repayable only. A second WES funding stream, the Pilot Contribution Program, concluded in 2020-21. |
