The ratio for matching funds (67%) is more than an applicant could typically access through separate SDTC or AI-EES processes.

- Are led by applicants both incorporated and operating in Canada with less than 500 employees and less than $! 50 million in annual gross revenue.
- A consortium is required, which means the applicant must have at least one contractual non-related partner involved with the project.
- Have a maximum project length of two years.
