The federal government recently announced the launch of the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), to help Canadian small- and medium-sized businesses grow their online presence and upgrade or adopt their digital technologies. The investment will provide $4 billion over four years in support of 160,000 small businesses.
Under this program, Canadian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will be able to assess their digital readiness and apply for grants and loans online. This funding will help them leverage e-commerce opportunities, upgrade or adopt digital technologies, and digitize their operations to stay competitive and meet their customers’ needs in the digital marketplace.
Depending on the size, specific needs and goals of your business, you can apply for funding through the Grow Your Business Online or Boost your Business Technology streams.
