The Canadian International Innovation Program (CIIP) fosters and supports collaborative industrial research and development projects with high potential for commercialization between Canada and partner countries. Specifically, the CIIP program can benefit Canadian companies by:

• Accessing support and funding for eligible innovative firms
• Accessing intelligence on technology and markets
• Identifying credible partners via the Trade Commissioner Service network
• Accessing new markets through technology partnering
• Leveraging investment to de-risk R&D projects that support the commercialization of Canadian technology
• Helping to reduce market entry risk as well as the costs associated with technology adaptation, technology co-development and technology validation
