Here's something most manufacturers don't realize about applied research funding.

With SONAMI — funded by the Government of Canada through FedDev Ontario — a project worth $88,000 only requires about $14,400 in cash. The rest? Your team's time, expertise, and use of your equipment and facilities.

Here's the breakdown:

• Total project value: $88,000
• SONAMI contribution: $40,000
• Your match ($1.20 for every $1 of SONAMI funding — 1:1.2 ratio): $48,000
• Your cash (30% of match): $14,400
• Your in-kind (70% of match): $33,600

That's what "in-kind" means — your existing resources count as real value. Your time counts.

If you've been thinking about starting an innovation project, now's your chance. We're here to help you navigate every step.
