More details are starting to come out about the new voucher program. Starting in September, Advanced Education and Technology will start accepting applications. Available to Canadian companies that do 50% of their business in Alberta, technology SMEs will be able to apply for $10,000 or $50,000 vouchers to use at approved service providers in Alberta. The vouchers can be used for payment of up to 75% of the service.
So, while we haven’t seen the application forms yet, we can infer a few items that will likely be required to get a voucher:
- Company details (Name of the company, size, location, amount of business in Alberta)
- Company Product Details (what you are working on, what the project will be for)
- Who your service provider is and how you are working together
Now is the time to start thinking about the needs of your company, planning those projects and drafting up your submissions. Talk to the service providers and draft up proposals to hit the ground running in September.
The tech industry doesn’t get many breaks, so take advantage of this very generous program while it is around.
