The Canada Digital Adoption Program is a $4 billion initiative launched by the Canadian government in 2021. The goal is to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Canada to become more competitive by adopting digital technologies. Many smaller businesses across the country fell behind during COVID. They need to adopt new digital technologies to meet their customers' needs and stay competitive. Supporting a digital economy will help Canadian companies grow and create more jobs and will be crucial to Canada's long-term competitiveness.
Through the federal government's Information, Science and Economic Development Canada department, the Program offers three basic grant opportunities. The Boost Your Business Technology grant is one: it aims to help SMEs where the digital adoption is more sophisticated, requiring more advanced technology, such as small manufacturing and food processing operations, among others.
