The Access to Talent Program helps Canadian SMEs or start-up companies hire an experienced individual to carry out a project to achieve key milestones that support the development of a natural product or technology (Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 4-9).
NPC defines natural products or technologies as biologically-based innovations that benefit people, animals and the planet, and can be applied to a range of industries, including: food production and value-added agriculture; bioproducts and sustainability; human nutrition, health and wellness; animal health and nutrition; and water and waste management.
Canadian SMEs or start-up companies can receive up to 40% of the cost of the new employee’s salary to a maximum of $75,000. The company is required to contribute 60% of the cost over the project period. The project period is a maximum of 18 months. Funds from this program are applied to salary costs only. Any recruitment costs that may be incurred by the SME or start-up company are not eligible and will not be supported by the program.
