SR&ED Reinvented: Budget 2025 Changes Now in Force
Over the past few months, we’ve taken a closer look at two critical elements for Canada’s cleantech sector:
• The evolution of SR&ED — still one of Canada’s most important innovation tools, now undergoing meaningful change
• The implementation of Budget 2025 measures — including the $750M early growth-stage funding, Strategic Response Fund, and expanded Investment Tax Credits
We continue to actively engage on the design and delivery of the $750M growth-stage funding and related measures to help ensure they meet the needs of scaling cleantech companies.
To help make sense of it all, we’ve developed two clear, practical infographics:
👉 What’s changing in SR&ED — and what it means for cleantech companies
👉 How Budget 2025 funding and policy tools are expected to roll out
A strong acknowledgment to our partners at CleanTech North for their sustained, multi-year advocacy on SR&ED, alongside the TMX Group.

Canada has put significant capital and policy tools on the table. The opportunity now is execution — ensuring these programs are structured and delivered in a way that supports commercialization, scale-up, and global competitiveness.
