"Six not-for-profit ag tech organizations will award up to $30 million in grants to help accelerate clean technology innovation across Canadian agriculture. The funding will be handed out over the next two years under the Agricultural Clean Technology Program Research and Innovation Stream - Accelerator (ACT Accelerator). This investment will support Canadian start-ups and agri-food organizations in developing and demonstrating cutting-edge clean technologies to advance sustainability in agriculture, says Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada."
"The six organizations are: Bioenterprise Canada Corporation; Canadian Agri-Food Automation and Intelligence Network (CAAIN); Canadian Food Innovation Network (CFIN); MaRS Discovery District; Ontario Genomics; and, Zone Agtech. Each organization will launch their own application intake periods and redistribute funding to eligible projects that will advance the development of clean technology for adoption in agriculture across Canada."
"These six ACT Accelerator investments will help ensure that Canadian producers and agri-food businesses have access to a wider range of advanced technologies, contributing to a more competitive and climate-friendly sector, says AAFC.

"CAAIN says it will further distribute funding to Canadian companies through its Clean Agtech Validation and Integration Program. This will expand CAAIN's smart farm network and focus on technologies that are already advanced, helping move them to the final stages before full use, according to a press release. It will also improve how these technologies are tested on farms, making it easier for farmers to trust and adopt them. Additionally, CAAIN will help these companies grow by offering support, mentorship, and access to a strong network, says CAAIN."
