Made in Saskatchewan Technology Program

For Saskatchewan-based technology companies, finding a real-world environment to test and validate a new product can be just as valuable as funding itself. The Made in Saskatchewan Technology Program is designed to bridge that gap by giving local tech innovators the opportunity to work directly with provincial government ministries to pilot solutions that improve public service delivery. Rather than a traditional grant, the program offers a paid contract of up to around $30,000, paired with the chance to demonstrate your technology in a live government setting.

Delivered by Innovation Saskatchewan on behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, the program focuses on practical, ready-to-test technologies that address specific operational challenges within government. Selected companies can run a pilot project for up to six months, allowing them to gather feedback, prove performance, and build a strong case for broader adoption. This hands-on approach can be especially valuable for early-stage and growing tech firms looking to establish credibility, refine their product, and open doors to future customers beyond the public sector. While the industries are broad, the emphasis is on innovation that delivers measurable improvements.

Applications are currently being accepted on an ongoing basis, depending on government needs and project opportunities. For Saskatchewan tech businesses interested in piloting their solution with a public-sector partner, learning more about how this program works could be a smart next step.
