Unlock Advanced AI Computing Power
The AI Compute Access Fund offers Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the opportunity to access up to $300 million in subsidized cloud compute resources for AI development. As part of Canada’s broader $2 billion Sovereign AI Compute Strategy, this fund supports the purchase of high-performance computing services, covering up to two-thirds of costs (max. $3.35M CAD) for Canadian-hosted compute or half for international services (max. $2.5M)
Who qualifies?
- Canadian-incorporated SMEs with fewer than 500 employees
- A Canada-based R&D team and generated revenue or Series A funding
- An active AI compute service agreement in place
- A clear commercialization roadmap targeting sectors like health, energy, life sciences, or advanced manufacturing
This fund removes a major barrier, expensive compute, and enables SMEs to accelerate AI projects, boost innovation, and stay globally competitive.
