Hi all,
Hope everyone had a great Holiday Season with Family and Friends !!
I have a customer in Alberta that is looking to upgrade his packaging equipment and was wondering if there is a government group in Alberta that does rebates on equipment purchased similar to the MAPAQ and Innovation Quebec and similar groups in Ontario.
If someone has the names and websites, please let me know.
Have a great weekend.
Regards,
Don.
Hi Don, to my knowledge there isn't an equivalent program in Alberta for capital (I would love to be corrected on this). There is a program called the "value added program" under S-CAP, which can subsidize up to 25% of capital Value-Added Program | Alberta.ca but it typically focuses on processing equipment for upgrading agricultural products. I have seen it stretch to food manufacturing though. It is currently closed, but hopefully will reopen in the new fiscal cycle. For larger capital purchases that are about scaling up production capacity there is the" Business Scale-up and Productivity (BSP) in the Prairie provinces - Canada.ca through PrairiesCan, however it is in the form of an interest-free repayable loan.
Thanks Diane.
Its not similar to the Quebec or Ontario government but, I guess its better then nothing !!
I will pass the info on to the customer for his info.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Don.
