Sleek Black Device

Canadian AI.
Built and scaled here.

CIAIC is a nationwide coalition of founders, researchers, investors, and industry leaders working to move Canadian AI from lab to market. We connect you with living labs, commercialization support, funding pathways, and direct access to federal policy.

What we do

Living Labs

Test your technology in real environments before full deployment. Our network spans universities and pilot sites across the country.

Commercialization

Go to market support, marketing through the consortia, and introductions to the buyers who need what you're building.

Project finance

Funding pathways, deal structuring, and project finance expertise to get your work off the ground.

Policy access

Government relations support and direct engagement on federal AI policy. We track it, we shape it, and we bring our network to the table.

Why now

  • Canada has the talent and the research. What's been missing is the bridge between innovation and adoption.

  • Bureaucratic barriers slow companies down. CIAIC exists to clear a faster path for Canadian AI to reach the market.

  • Making AI compute and data sovereignty a national priority, Prime Minister Carney tasked the Major Projects Office to develop a Canadian sovereign cloud.

  • CIAIC members are already deploying these technologies and building integration by and for Canadians.
