We’ve been waiting for this news since October 2021 and almost lost hope. But, the Federal government finally launched the Canada Digital Adoption Program.

It is a combination of a grant and an interest-free loan for the following activities:

1) Adoption of e-commerce tools by customer-facing businesses (e.g. retail, hospitality) up to $2,400 per applicant

2) Technology assessment for small-to-medium-sized businesses (1-499 employees) to complete advanced technology assessment by one of the approved consultants – up to $15K per applicant

3) Purchasing and implementation of the technology (e.g. software, hardware) recommended as a result of the assessment – interest-free loan up to $100K

I will be reading the fine print over the weekend and have more information next week. But you can also visit the program’s official page here.

Need help with this or other government funding programs but don’t know where to start or how to prepare an application?
