Going Global Innovation

Posted by Suman Jha on March 13, 2017 in Research Funding

The Going Global Innovation (GGI) program is funded by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, and specifically designed to promote and enhance Canada's international innovation efforts. The program supports researchers who aim to commercialize technology by pursuing collaborative international research and development (R&D) opportunities through partnerships with key players in foreign markets.

Eligible beneficiaries are Canadian researchers from small or medium-size enterprises, universities and nongovernment research centres.

GGI provides assistance by contributing up to 75% of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of $75,000 for any approved project. Eligible expenses may include: international and local travel, accommodation, meals, meeting costs, legal fees to support formalized partnerships, and other costs related to international collaboration.

Applications are accepted at any time, but must be submitted at least eight weeks in advance of planned travel overseas.

Any Dalhousie faculty member interested in this opportunity is asked to contact the International Research Facilitator (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca) for more information and support in preparing an application.
