The Interactive Visits Program is funded by the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).
Tech-Access Canada manages and administers the program in partnership with TACs. The financial support from NRC IRAP aligns with the government's broader goal of fostering innovation among Canadian SMEs.
This funding enables SMEs to access advanced research capabilities at minimal cost, reducing barriers to innovation.
It also helps build stronger links between academic research centres and the private sector.
By doing so, it enhances Canada's overall innovation ecosystem.
