What to know
REGI has two streams: Business Scale-up and Productivity, and Regional Innovation Ecosystems. For a company, the first is usually the relevant one. As with most ACOA support, funding is typically an interest-free repayable contribution rather than a grant, plan it as a liability on your balance sheet.
