Helping artificial intelligence value chain companies scale
Delivered in partnership with Scale AI, Canada's AI Global Innovation Supercluster, the Volta AI program provides eligible value chain focused AI companies access to funding and resources to scale.
Along with funding and program resources, participants gain access to experts and investors in the AI space. Companies receive up to $50,000 to spend over the course of the program on offerings and services to grow their venture.
