The application intake for the Agri-Tech Innovation Initiative (ATII) is now closed.
The $25 Million program, funded through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), seeks to support growth and productivity through innovation, advanced manufacturing, improved food safety and enhanced cyber security, and energy efficiency within the agri-food sector.
There was tremendous industry response to this program with over 560 applications received from across Ontario’s agri-food value chain. The applications are now in review and AAC aims to communicate funding decisions in early June.
With the large volume of applications received, AAC is extending the call for additional external reviewers. AAC is seeking agri-food sector experts to assist in the project review process and honorariums are available for those selected. Click here for more information and to apply.
