The Innovation Scouting Fund provides funding to support pilot projects that solve real-world challenges in the Canadian food industry.
A call is issued by a food industry partner (e.g., manufacturer, retailer).
You submit a solution aligned with the call priorities.
Selected applicants receive funding to run a pilot project with the partner.
The pilot tests and validates your solution in a real-world environment.
Funding supports both:
The innovator (you)
The industry partner
