The program lets businesses seek out expertise within post-secondary institutions to:

• Improve productivity
• Develop a new product, service, or process
• Create growth

There are two tiers of the Productivity and Innovation Voucher Program.

• Tier 1: Vouchers of up to $15,000 for eligible businesses that have not previously been awarded a voucher, or are applying with a new project.
• Tier 2: Vouchers of up to $25,000 for eligible businesses to build on work already done.

Vouchers are used to obtain services from eligible Service Providers. Businesses must select a provider and service that best fits their needs.  For more information on the Productivity and Innovation Voucher Program, please visit the NSBI website.
