Unlock Up to $100K in Funding for Carbon and Innovation Projects

At CarbonOne, we’re committed to helping Canada’s food and agri-tech businesses accelerate climate action, and we know funding can play a major role in making that happen. That’s why we’re highlighting two major funding programs now open—each offering up to $100,000 in non-repayable support to help you advance clean technology, improve your carbon reporting, or tackle technical innovation barriers.

With both programs closing in early August, now is the time to act.
