Researchers engaged in IT, life sciences, cleantech, oceantech, and other technologies are invited to apply to Innovacorp’s Early Stage Commercialization Fund, which provides up to $50,000 per project for post-secondary researchers to move their research to market.

Eligible applicants include Nova Scotia university and college faculty members, as well as staff and clinicians in university-affiliated hospitals. Applications from graduate students and post-docs will be considered, provided a faculty member is a co-applicant.

Funds can be used to assess market potential, develop go-to-market strategies, perform strategic planning, create/update business plans, assist with intellectual property protection strategies, finish proof-of-concept development, build prototypes and leverage other funds.
