Evaluation of ACOA's Innovation and Commercialization sub-program : final report / Evaluation Unit, Evaluation and Risk Directorate, Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. : AC5-45/2015E-PDF

“The evaluation focuses on Innovation and Commercialization (IC) sub-program activities approved between 2005-2006 and 2012-2013. During this period, $652.5 million in ACOA assistance was approved for 1,131 IC projects. Operations and maintenance expenditures (O&M) totalled $56.2 million. The IC sub-program is part of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency’s (ACOA) Enterprise Development (ED) Program and is delivered through two grant and contribution (G&C) programs: the Atlantic Innovation Fund (AIF) and the Business Development Program (BDP). The AIF and BDP target both commercial and non-commercial entities (including research institutions, universities and other not-for-profit organizations). The AIF focuses on increasing research, development and innovation in Atlantic Canada and, for the period under review, was delivered through an Agency-wide competitive process. The BDP is delivered regionally and has a broader scope, encompassing a variety of eligible activities that support the growth and competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). ACOA recently revised its IC programming by launching a new BDP commercialization funding element, streamlining the intake of applications, changing the AIF process to a continuous intake system, and lowering the minimum funding threshold to better enable the AIF to meet business needs"--Executive summary, p. ii.
