The Business Development Program is a pilot program designed to support the growth trajectory and business activities of small to medium-sized Canadian companies who have previous commercial and/or cultural success producing linear or interactive digital media (IDM) content for domestic and international audiences. For clarity, Companies are not required to have received CMF funding in the past to apply for this Program.
This Program is intended to drive company growth, encourage revenue generation, create a more sustainable and resilient Canadian audiovisual ecosystem, and encourage competitiveness in a global creative industry. Companies who wish to scale their businesses and can demonstrate high potential for expanded monetization opportunities through clear, measurable and feasible strategic and innovative objectives are encouraged to apply.
The Program will fund two separate pools of Applicants with the CMF total budget allocation broken down equally as follows:
- Growth Track Applicants
