Available Funding and Grants
Finding funding shouldn't feel like a second job.
Canadian SMBs adopting new technology have access to real government money — federal tools, and a dedicated agency in every province. But the programs change constantly, the eligible programs are scattered across a dozen different sites, and the one most people remember (CDAP) closed to new applicants in 2024–25.
At beehive, we believe finding funding should be as easy as finding software.
Point every Canadian SMB straight to the official federal and provincial funding source for their technology project — not a paid listing, not an expired offer.
