The Idea to Innovation (I2I) grants accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology from the university and college sector and promote its transfer to a new or established Canadian company. Funding supports research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential through defined phases: market assessment, Phase I (reduction-to-practice), and Phase II (technology enhancement). The program aims to provide crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.
College and university faculty members are eligible to apply. The program requires the involvement of an industry liaison office (ILO) or equivalent, and for Phase II, a private-sector partner. Specific eligibility details are provided on the NSERC opportunity page.
