Business Development Fund Travel Subsidy

BIOTECanada is pleased to provide a Subsidy Program for our Schedule A members designed to assist Canadian companies to participate at international business development events.

Making the right connections and promoting yourself outside of Canada can be essential to your business, but justifying the cost of attending international events can be difficult.  
Schedule A members looking to attend international events this year may be eligible for a subsidy of up to $2500 covering travel and registration to select partnering and investor events, as part of BIOTECanada’s business development program. For 2010, BIOTECanada will cover the cost for 1 representative of up to 2 companies to attend the following industry leading conferences:

Funds will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis and the program is limited in number of companies per targeted event.  Requests must be made in advance of attending an event and you must fulfill the eligibility criteria.
