Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP)

NRC IRAP to transition to the Canada Innovation Corporation

The Government of Canada is launching the Canada Innovation Corporation (CIC), which will be a Crown corporation dedicated to supporting business R&D across all sectors. After more than 75 years of providing innovation assistance to small and medium-sized businesses in Canada as part of the NRC, NRC IRAP will leave the NRC to become part of the new CIC.

This move will enhance NRC IRAP's capacity to serve its clients, while continuing to work closely with the NRC on key projects. This transition will take place approximately 24 months after its announcement in February 2023. Until the transition is complete, NRC IRAP's business will continue as usual, as part of the NRC, with steadfast delivery to its clients.
