AI Compute Access Fund is sponsored by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). The AI Compute Access Fund is a national initiative to help Canadian innovators and businesses (SMEs) access high-performance computing resources. It aims to accelerate the development and deployment of made-in-Canada AI solutions by offsetting the high cost of compute resources, particularly in sectors requiring significant computing capacity like life sciences, energy, and advanced manufacturing.
The AI Sovereign Compute Infrastructure Program (AISCIP) supports the design, construction, and operation of a national public AI supercomputing system in Canada. With approximately CAD $890 million allocated over seven fiscal years starting FY2026-27, this initiative is a core pillar of Canada's broader Sovereign AI Compute Strategy. The program funds hardware installation, data centre operations, and systems administration for high-performance AI-optimized compute infrastructure with Canadian data residency requirements. Successful applicants must demonstrate rapid deployment capability, scalable design, Canadian governance with data residency control, and broader economic benefits including domestic supply chain strengthening. This is distinct from the separately-funded AI Compute Access Fund, which subsidizes researcher access to existing compute resources. An informational webinar is available for prospective applicants.
