How we help

The Accelerated Growth Service (AGS) helps established Canadian businesses navigate and access the government supports they need to grow and scale. From funding, to research and development, to breaking into new markets and everything in between, we help connect businesses with the right support, at the right time.

AGS is delivered by expert Innovation Advisors, who support companies with complex growth plans and business goals, looking for long-term support from government.

Businesses that work with AGS can get:
  • Tailored needs-based advice to help you grow and meet your goals
  • Advice on how to pitch your business to government, navigate government programming, and position your applications
  • Access to a custom-built, government team drawn from a network of 50+ federal, provincial, municipal and non-profit partners
