What Innovate BC offers
Innovate BC’s Integrated Marketplace provides cost-shared funding for collaborative projects pairing BC solution providers with adopters in priority sectors — its demonstration call funds up to 40% of eligible costs to a maximum of $500,000 per project, with rolling intake. Innovate BC also runs a Venture Acceleration Program and the New Ventures BC competition (over $250,000 in cash and prizes).
Who it suits
These programs suit BC-based technology companies and collaborative AI projects. As always, intake windows move, so confirm the current call on innovatebc.ca.
How to start
Start at innovatebc.ca or the Business Benefits Finder. Important: these are programs a business applies for directly with the government agency, bank or cluster that runs them. dgm is an independent AI-integration agency — not a registered, approved or official deliverer of any program here. dgm can help assess fit and scope an AI project, but government money does not flow through dgm. Program parameters, amounts and intake windows change frequently — confirm the current details on the official program page before relying on them.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Canadian businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm can help you scope the AI project that a program would fund — but you apply to the program directly. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
