Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP)
The NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Canada. It provides technological and business advice and expertise, along with potential financial support to R&D-oriented companies, including those operating in NRC's cluster initiatives.
Through its extensive network of industrial technology advisors, the program links companies in the cluster to appropriate sources of technical and business expertise, market information and local financing. It also facilitates international connections via technology missions. NRC-IRAP has developed close relationships with the majority of fuel cell firms in British Columbia, supporting innovative research and development, and the commercialization of new fuel cell products and services. In 2008-2009 alone, NRC-IRAP provided almost $1 million in funding to 10 organizations in British Columbia's H2/FC sector.
