Testing Stream for government Testing Stream for government Make next happen – Discover, test and buy Canada's top innovative solutions Why test Canada's top innovative solutions?
Through calls for proposals, we attract the latest prototypes from across Canada You get to test out innovations in your own operational settings Our Pathway to commercialization allows you to potentially buy the commercialized innovation Your input on the performance of the innovation helps Canadian companies refine their innovation before launching into the marketplace Who can test innovations?
Any Government of Canada departments or agencies found in the Financial Administration Act Schedules I, I.
1, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII Provincial, municipal, healthcare, Indigenous organizations, or academic institutions are eligible for third-party testing Third-party testing responsibilities can include collaborating with a testing department, taking on an advisory role, or leading a test with support from a testing department How to test an innovation Step 1: Browse our lists divided by priority area to find an innovation you want to test.
Use the filter function to search by themes or innovation status. Available for testing : the innovation is currently unmatched and open for testing. Matched : The innovation is tentatively developing a test plan with a testing department.
However there is still an opportunity for additional sales, or if the innovation becomes available, we can contact you. You can signal your interest in the matched innovation in the form below.
Step 2: Complete the test an innovation form Step 3: Review important information about your role as a tester Filter by status, theme, keyword, city, province or territory Status Any status Available for testing Matched Artificial intelligence (AI) Clean technology and climate change Innovations eligible for additional sales Access innovations tested by other government departments

Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.
Current published award information indicates Funding amounts vary based on project scope and sponsor guidance. Always verify allowable costs, matching requirements, and funding caps directly in the sponsor documentation.
The current target date is rolling deadlines or periodic funding windows. Build your timeline backwards from this date to cover registrations, approvals, attachments, and final submission checks.
Federal grant success rates typically range from 10-30%, varying by agency and program. Build a strong proposal with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and a well-justified budget to improve your chances.
Requirements vary by sponsor, but typically include a project narrative, budget justification, organizational capability statement, and key personnel CVs. Check the official notice for the complete list of required attachments.
Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
Advanced innovative solutions for improved competitiveness and sustainability in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: farmers are supported in their transition into innovative controlled environment farming techniques and decision support tools for sustainable growth optimisation strategies; the competitiveness and sustainability (including climate mitigation and adaptation) in controlled environment agriculture are improved benefiting all relevant actors. Scope: Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) refers to any form of agriculture that controls and optimises environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, light or nutrient concentration. Examples of CEA include greenhouses, vertical farms, grow rooms, building-integrated agriculture, hydroponics, aquaponics, aeroponics, as well as other innovative farming practices - both off land and land based - where technological advancements enable precise regulation of growing conditions farming. By developing innovative farming techniques that integrate the latest technological advancements including artificial intelligence (AI), this research should provide a competitive and sustainable transformation in response to global food security and sustainability challenges. Furthermore, it should also empower farmers and key stakeholders in the agricultural primary sector by enabling them to adopt sustainable, efficient, profitable, circular, and low-emission farming practices. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and AI-driven solutions, the activities should contribute to the overarching goals of climate neutrality and climate resilience, reinforcing the EU’s commitment to a sustainable agricultural future. Proposals should: develop and assess advanced cost-effective innovative and sustainable solutions (including nature-based solutions) to address the key challenges (including climate change related and environmental) for crop optimisation in CEA. The assessment should address, among other, crop health and yield, energy efficiency, water use efficiency, nutrient management, environmental conditions, cost-effectiveness, automation and technology integration, sustainability and environmental impact, food safety, pest and disease management, scalability and adaptability; develop data-driven decision-making smart automation and precision farming techniques, as well as predictive analytics for plant growth optimisation (e.g. via AI modelling); explore appropriate new business and cooperation models adapted to proposed solutions, taking into account organisation and distribution concepts, and marketability of the resulting products. Consider requirements from relevant EU regulatory frameworks including where relevant needs for pre-market authorisation; foster knowledge sharing including by training to test and adopt the innovative solutions, and informed advice for improved competitiveness and sustainability of CEA. Proposals should develop innovative solutions in both conventional and organic production systems. The projects under this topic are relevant to the EU policies related to the EU Vision for Agriculture and Food, the Common Agricultural Policy, the EU Action Plan for the Development of Organic Production [1] , the European Green Deal policies dealing with environment protection and climate change, and the Apply AI Strategy. Activities should fall under the concept of the multi-actor approach and allow for adequate involvement of relevant actors including farmers, SMEs, start-ups, scientists and developers. To effectively transition these innovations into the market, SMEs should actively be involved in this process. Activities are expected to achieve Technological Readiness Levels (TRL) 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B. Proposals may involve financial support to third parties, particularly for SMEs providing and/or developing testing, or validating the proposed innovative technologies/solutions. A maximum 30% of EU funding should be allocated to this Programme areas: Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Areas, Food, Bioeconomy Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment, Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness Keywords: Agricultural engineering, food safety, Agriculture related to crop production, applied plant biology, Artificial Intelligence & Decision support, Artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, multi agent systems, Climate change mitigation, Energy Efficiency, Environment, resources and sustainability, Glasshouse management, Greenhouse gases, Hydroponics, Irrigation management, Plant cropping systems, Plant nutrition, Precision agriculture, Resources efficiency, Sustainable innovation, Technological innovation, AI modelling, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), Decision support tools, Innovative sustainable farming techniques, Precision farming techniques
