Strategic Investments Program

Large-scale projects that strengthen Nunavut’s economy often require more capital and long-term planning than most businesses or organizations can manage on their own. The Strategic Investments Program is designed to support initiatives that have the potential to create lasting economic benefits across the territory, particularly those that align with Nunavut’s broader development priorities. Delivered by the Government of Nunavut, the program focuses on projects that can drive sustainable growth rather than short-term activity.

Funding through the Strategic Investments Program is typically directed toward significant economic development initiatives, which may include projects that improve infrastructure, expand key industries, or build local capacity in communities across Nunavut. Because funding is non-repayable and tailored to the scale and impact of each project, the program is well suited to proposals that involve partnerships, long timelines, or higher upfront costs. Support levels vary depending on the scope and strategic value of the project, making it flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of industries and development models.

Applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis, with priority given to projects that demonstrate clear economic and community benefits for Nunavut. For businesses and organizations considering a major investment in the territory, reviewing the full program details can help determine whether this funding opportunity fits your long-term plans.
