About the CDAP Grant
Unlocking the Potential of Technology with CDAP Grant
The CDAP Boost your Business Technology Stream offers financial support to small and medium Canadian-owned enterprises (SMEs), such as small manufacturing and food processing operations, to adopt new technologies. Support for these businesses will be in the form of grants to offset the cost of retaining Digital Advisors who will develop Digital Adoption Plans tailored to the business. The grant will cover up to 90% of the cost to develop the digital plan, up to a maximum grant payment of $15,000.
To support the implementation of the digital adoption plan, SMEs will be able to apply for a zero-interest loan from the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) (up to $100,000). In addition, the Boost Your Business Technology Stream will make available youth placement wage subsidies of up to $7,300 per youth participant aged 18-30. SMEs can apply for more than one wage subsidy to hire multiple skilled youth to support and implement their digital transformation. Eligible SMEs must apply for the wage subsidy through the CDAP Portal and will be assisted by Magnet, a digital community workforce system housed within the Toronto Metropolitan University. Magnet has work placements available across Canada and will support employers with access to a nation-wide pool of youth with skills to support the implementation of their digital adoption plan.
