Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) - Natural Resources Canada Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) Created in 2010, the Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) program facilitates the adoption of transformative technologies and products in the Canadian forest sector by bridging the gap between development and commercialization.
IFIT’s mission is to create a more competitive, sustainable, and low-carbon forest sector while helping companies establish new and diversified revenue streams.
In support of this mission, the program funds capital investment projects and studies in its targeted innovation categories, including advanced wood-based building solutions, biomaterials and biochemicals, pulp and paper modernization, next-generation biofuels, and advanced decarbonization.
As part of its 2026 renewal, the IFIT program will fund projects that advance the development and adoption of forest bioproducts, which support: developing diversified pulp and paper products that are new to the market and have the potential to substitute non-renewable materials like plastics improving fibre usage and process efficiency to support the long-term economic and environmental sustainability of the forest sector scaling up the use of mass timber and prefabrication in housing construction to accelerate construction expanding domestic housing production capacity to resolve supply chain bottlenecks reducing costs and improving resilience and innovation in housing construction supply chains Support for forest sector firms to adopt transformational technologies and diversify product streams Since its creation in 2010, the IFIT program has successfully funded 82 capital investment projects that have resulted in the deployment of first-in-kind technologies and advanced bioproducts derived from wood, including bioenergy, bioplastics, biochemicals and next generation building materials.
Since 2019, the program has also funded 38 studies to assess the market and technological feasibility of innovative projects. To help facilitate the creation of a more competitive, resilient and environmentally sustainable Canadian forest sector, IFIT aims to have the technologies it has funded replicated by other firms.
In support of this goal, the program engaged with an engineering firm in 2015 to identify and analyze IFIT-funded projects that other Canadian forest product companies may be able to adopt. Email ifit-itif@nrcan-rncan. gc.
