On March 14, 2016, Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) will be launching the third call for proposals for the Western Innovation (WINN) Initiative. The objective of WINN is to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in commercializing new technology-based products, processes and services.

WINN is a $100 million, five-year federal funding initiative that provides repayable contributions to SME’s located in Western Canada. WINN complements WD’s existing programs and supports an environment where local businesses can thrive and innovate.

WINN seeks to enhance Canada’s business advantages and encourage the private sector to bring new ideas to market. Please visit the WD website for further information about WINN and how to apply for funding.
