Get the R&D dough you need

摘要

Research and development of new technologies and products is a crucial aspect of any business's ability to survive. Whether you're an upstart tech firm or a major enterprise, putting money aside for development is a constant concern. "Any company that isn't doing ongoing innovation will have problems down the road," said Tony Rahilly, director general of the National Research Council of Canada's (NRC) Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP). To facilitate this innovation and help get your developmental projects off the ground, industry experts advise all companies to take advantage of of incentive programs the federal and provincial governments have to offer. The trouble is that many businesses don't know where to start.
