Brockville’s industrial sector is focused on addressing workforce shortages through automation and enhancing domestic supply chain resilience. With the municipal commitment to being an attractive investment centre, local businesses are perfectly positioned to leverage programs that reward productivity and “sovereign” manufacturing capacity.
Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC)
The AMIC program is the primary engine for Brockville’s manufacturers to boost productivity. The program provides grants up to $500,000 for small companies in rural communities and up to $1.5 million for strategic reshoring projects. We specialize in navigating the intake deadlines, focusing your application on capital equipment purchases, robotics, and the digital systems required to modernize Brockville’s chemical and paper production lines.
Rural Ontario Development (ROD) Program
Specifically designed for municipalities like Brockville, the ROD Program provides cost-share funding for businesses with 1 to 20 employees. We target this fund for market diversification and cybersecurity projects. If your Brockville-based firm is looking to conduct market analysis for a new product or implement accessibility upgrades to your facility, we help you secure the funding needed to remove these barriers to growth.
Eastern Ontario Development Fund (SWODF) – Eastern Stream
EODF is critical for Brockville’s large-scale makers. We target these funds for facility expansions and high-tonnage equipment purchases. We focus on the Business Scale-up and Productivity stream, helping you secure interest-free loans and grant conversions that cover up to 15% of eligible project costs, anchoring your operations firmly in the St. Lawrence corridor.
SR&ED Tax Credit (The Technical Baseline)
For Brockville’s chemical and specialized manufacturing firms, the SR&ED tax credit is the foundation for recovering R&D costs. Whether you are solving “technological uncertainties” in chemical formulation or custom automation engineering, we help you recover up to 35% of qualified expenditures. We ensure your technical documentation meets the latest standards, turning your shop-floor innovations into predictable cash flow.
