Accelerators & incubators: How to apply for funding

Supporting Canada’s accelerators & incubators

Do you support startups that are growing Canada’s AI and tech capabilities? Scale AI’s Acceleration program is designed to help accelerators & incubators connect with clients, boost their revenue, and position their services in the local and international ecosystems.
The Acceleration program extends funds to acceleration & incubation programs that have passed through our certification process.
The Acceleration program does not directly fund individual AI startups or SMEs. Rather, Scale AI provides funding to the partner organizations that do.
