Congratulations to our partner, Mitacs, on being awarded $162 million for the new Mitacs AI Advantage program to support 10,000 paid work placements, connecting Canadian talent with businesses as they adopt and innovate with AI.

The funding will support the Mitacs AI Advantage programming, which enables business-academic collaborations through two complementary streams designed to strengthen Canada’s AI talent pipeline and accelerate AI adoption and commercialization:

  • ADOPT will support work placement opportunities focused on AI adoption, linking industry partners with academic researchers and talent to help businesses, big and small, quickly test and deploy AI solutions across their organizations.

  • AI+X will support work placement opportunities focused on AI innovation, co-funding research work placements and collaborations that apply AI to solve business problems and develop new technologies in a variety of disciplines, including agriculture and health care.
