Questions for a first conversation

How should the project demonstrate defence benefit and Atlantic economic impact, and what repayment, eligible-cost and contribution terms would the ACOA office propose?
Published RDII criteria and an office-first application route narrow the decision; eligibility does not settle project-specific funding terms.

ACOA delivers CAD38.2million of RDII over three years from 2025–26 for Atlantic defence industrial capacity. Businesses including dual-use SMEs, supporting non-profits, Indigenous entities and provincial/municipal governments may apply for scale-up, certification, technology demonstration, facilities and ecosystem activities that demonstrate defence benefit. RDII contributions to businesses are generally repayable; non-profit and Indigenous contributions are generally non-repayable. Applicants first discuss the project with their nearest ACOA office before following the financial-assistance application process. Programme support does not confer procurement selection.
