Agtech Growth Fund

Bringing a new agricultural technology from concept to market can be one of the biggest challenges for growing companies, especially when scaling, piloting, or preparing for commercial sales. For Saskatchewan-based businesses working at the intersection of agriculture and innovation, the Agtech Growth Fund offers meaningful financial support to help move promising technologies closer to real-world adoption. The program focuses on accelerating commercialization efforts that strengthen the province’s agri-food and agtech ecosystem.

Delivered by Innovation Saskatchewan on behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, this fund provides non-repayable contributions to offset a portion of eligible project costs. Successful applicants can receive funding of up to roughly $450,000, typically covering about a third of a qualifying project. Support is geared toward activities that help turn proven innovations into market-ready solutions, such as scaling production, refining technology, validating performance, or preparing for broader market entry within the agricultural sector.

The Agtech Growth Fund is well suited to established and scaling businesses developing technology with clear commercial potential and relevance to Saskatchewan’s agricultural industry. Applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis, subject to available funding and project readiness. For agtech companies evaluating whether this program aligns with their growth plans, reviewing the full funding criteria and project expectations can help determine if this opportunity is the right next step.
