In this spirit, Canada s regional development agencies (RDAs) have $200 million to boost the development and commercialization of new technologies and solutions, as well as the accelerated adoption of AI by SMEs. The RAII pays particular attention to sectors critical to the Canadian economy, such as agriculture, clean technology, life sciences and manufacturing, and supports structural projects that generate spin-offs in all regions across the country.
