Advanced Research and Commercialization program (ARC)

The Advanced Research and Commercialization (ARC) program in British Columbia (B.C.) is a fundamental part of the Province’s CleanBC Go Electric Program, designed to support the development of companies operating in the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sector, and to encourage international investment in the ZEV sector in B.C. It is the intention of the ARC program to provide reliable and targeted support to build on existing strengths or eliminate barriers for companies in the sector. The ARC program will provide support to B.C. companies to invest in product development and commercialization activities through to long-term demonstration projects.
