Canadian entrepreneurs and innovators are building the future. By unlocking more growth capital, we're helping Canadian companies start here, scale here, and stay here, creating good-paying jobs and strengthening Canada's economy for generations to come. 🇨🇦💼🚀
Canada has the talent, now we're backing it with capital.
Today, our government unveiled the $1.75 billion Venture and Growth Capital Plan. It will support Canadian innovators at every stage, starting at pre-seed, and is expected to attract at least $3.8 billion in private investment.
So Canadian companies can start here, grow here and stay here.

Canada is the greatest country on earth.
A country where you are free to be who you want to be. To speak your mind. To worship as you choose. To live your life as you wish.
That is independence. That is sovereignty.
