The Yves Landry Foundation’s AIME initiative is active again.

This is a great opportunity for NMA members taking on small projects outside the scope of the larger FedDev BSUP/CEDD project streams.

YLF is making available up to $100,000 per company in the form of a grant to foster training that will lead to advancements in innovation within the manufacturing sector in Southern Ontario. Specific funding will be provided for two major objectives:

• Objective 1 –Training that will support the adaptation of new technology, new processes or procedures or a change within the company to support innovation.
• Objective 2 –Training that will support and develop Highly Skilled Personnel in any area that leads to innovation. This can include the development of new engineering skills, training in the use of new software, hardware or other tools necessary to support innovation, retraining to embrace new technologies, new manufacturing methods, or any other business area that will make a Southern Ontario manufacturing company more competitive in the global marketplace.
