DMAP / TDP
Useful when an Ontario business needs a digital adoption plan, technology plan, or clearer project definition before implementation.

Funding works better when the project is clear. Digid helps Canadian SMEs turn an AI, digital, cloud, training, SR&ED, or productivity idea into a practical project summary before choosing a grant, loan, tax-credit, or self-funded route.
Map the project
Clarify the workflow, business outcome, users, data sources, implementation scope, timeline, budget range, and internal owner.
Check funding fit
Review whether DMAP, TDP, SR&ED, BDC LIFT, training support, cloud credits, vendor programs, or another path may be relevant.
Prepare evidence
Turn the idea into the documents a funder, lender, tax advisor, implementation partner, or internal decision maker needs to understand.
What you leave with
- A plain-language project summary.
- A funding-fit signal and next-step recommendation.
- A list of gaps to fix before applying, financing, or building.
- A decision on whether to assess, build, scale, or wait.
Digid is independent from government funding bodies, lenders, and BDC. Program eligibility, intake windows, funding amounts, tax-credit outcomes, financing decisions, and approvals are controlled by the relevant third parties.
Prepare the project before the application
Many funding conversations fail because the idea is still too broad. Digid turns the opportunity into a reviewable project package before you invest in a long application, lender conversation, or vendor proposal.
Business case
Define the operational problem, expected value, revenue or productivity context, project owner, users, and decision timeline.
Technical scope
Describe the workflow, current systems, data sources, privacy boundaries, cloud path, integration needs, and any AI, automation, or equipment requirements.
Evidence package
Collect the materials that make the project credible: quotes, diagrams, screenshots, current-process notes, staff roles, training needs, risk controls, and implementation phases.
Route decision
Leave with a practical recommendation: prepare a funding application, pursue financing readiness, document SR&ED evidence, start AI onboarding, build a smaller proof of value, or pause until readiness improves.
Common routes
Match the project to the right conversation.
A clear project can move in different directions. The right route depends on the business profile, province, timeline, spend type, technical evidence, and whether the project is ready to build.
BDC LIFT readiness
Useful when the project may involve AI, digital tools, cybersecurity, automation, smart equipment, or financing-readiness work.
Review LIFT readinessSR&ED evidence
Useful when software, automation, data, robotics, or AI work involved technical uncertainty, experimentation, and traceable evidence.
Review SR&ED fitTraining and cloud
Useful when the bottleneck is user readiness, governance, AI policy, PECB-aligned training, cloud setup, or implementation capacity.
Compare all pathsFunding support should strengthen a project that makes business sense. Digid helps define the work, prepare evidence, and choose the next conversation.
