Who qualifies
Organizations adopting or innovating with AI: private sector businesses, not-for-profits, municipalities and health-sector organizations co-fund placements of students and postdoctoral fellows from Canadian post-secondary institutions. Contact a Mitacs Advisor to confirm fit.
Good to know
- Funding: Award table is on the AI Advantage page; the page lists ADOPT and AI+X as the two offerings.
- Cost share: 50% of eligible costs
- Notes: Earlier claims that the offerings are non-competitive and open for five years no longer appear on the page and were removed. Status Open rests on the page's call to action, not a quoted statement.
