A company first discusses its project with an IRAP Industrial Technology Advisor, then works with that advisor to co-develop and submit a funding proposal through NRC's systems. Funds are often advanced ahead of expenses being incurred rather than reimbursed afterwards, which the programme highlights as cash-flow friendly for startups.
