PTAC, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), has been working on the Small and Medium Sized Enterprise (SME) innovation program for over a decade. This initiative is designed to assist SMEs in navigating the constantly evolving energy marketplace. PTAC has a wealth of experience providing technical advisory services for R&D, as well as strategic intelligence and tailored solutions. NRC-IRAP offers financial support to eligible SMEs in Canada to help them innovate with technology. Businesses that work with NRC-IRAP are better positioned to engage in applied R&D, introduce new products and services to global markets, and access new markets. In 2023-2024, PTAC helped to complete 18 Product Market Fit (280 completed since 2016) and 20 Project Consortium Development engagements (165 completed since 2016).
