Funding Questions
Is funding guaranteed?
No. Funding is never guaranteed. Programs change frequently, budgets are limited, and eligibility is assessed case by case by each program. We help you understand whether a project may fit a funding pathway — the funding decision is always made by the program.
Can Mars Innovation Technology apply for funding for us?
We are a technology partner, not a funding agency or a licensed funding advisor. We help you scope a fundable project and prepare a clear technical project description. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice, and we recommend confirming eligibility with an official program advisor or your accountant.
What types of projects may qualify?
Projects such as AI adoption, cloud modernization, cybersecurity, data platform modernization, e-commerce and export expansion, productivity automation, custom software and innovation, and industrial or operational modernization may align with certain programs. Whether a specific project qualifies depends on the program, your business, and timing.
Can e-commerce export-growth projects qualify?
Some Canadian businesses expanding into new international markets may be able to explore export-support programs such as CanExport SMEs. Eligibility, funding amounts, and target-market rules are set by the program and change over time, so they must be confirmed directly with the program.
Can AI or automation projects qualify?
AI adoption, automation, and custom software or innovation projects may align with certain programs or tax-credit pathways, depending on the technical work involved. We help identify possible fit; eligibility is confirmed by the program or your tax advisor.
What happens after the funding-fit check?
We review your project idea, identify possible funding categories to explore, and scope a practical, fixed-price project. If it looks like a fit, we point you to the right official advisor and help prepare the technical documentation you may need.
