Mitacs Entrepreneur International

Mitacs · Federal

In plain language

Up to $5,000 travel grant for Canadian start-ups housed in an academic-affiliated incubator (Genesis Centre is the NL gateway) to visit a host incubator abroad and explore a target market. Up to 5 grants per company through March 31, 2026. Tiny money but a quick add-on if you're already going — book the Genesis connection into a formal Mitacs-eligible host incubator to get the travel covered. Not useful if you're not already in an academic incubator track.
