Testing Stream for government

Make next happen – Discover, test and buy Canada's top innovative solutions

Why test Canada's top innovative solutions?

• Through calls for proposals, we attract the latest prototypes from across Canada
• You get to test out innovations in your own operational settings
• Our Pathway to Commercialization allows you to potentially buy the commercialized innovation without further competition
• Your input on the performance of the innovation helps Canadian companies refine their innovation before launching into the marketplace

Who can test innovations?

• Any federal government organization (including crown corporations)
• Provinces, municipalities, hospitals, schools, and Indigenous organizations may also be testing partners (with a federal sponsor) – we can help find a federal government organization to sponsor the test
