NGen Advanced Manufacturing Projects

To qualify, companies must be incorporated in Canada and carry out value-added activities like R&D or manufacturing in the country—more than just maintaining a sales office.

Applicants must also fall into one of the following categories:

• A for-profit business;
• A not-for-profit entity that supports R&D for the ecosystem and receives most of its funding from private-sector or industry groups;
• A non-federal Crown corporation funded by commercial activity;
• An Indigenous organization; or
• Any other organization pre-approved by the Minister.

‍

Projects must align with NGen’s four main strategic objectives:

• Transformative: deliver a major competitive edge to Canadian industry;
• Collaborative: involve at least two Canadian industrial partners working meaningfully together;
• Applied: focus on short- to mid-term commercialization with clear commercial and economic impacts;
• Enduring: contribute long-term value to Canada’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem.
