Digitalization<\/strong> is a major challenge for Canadian businesses<\/strong> today. Times have changed and Canadians are no longer doing business in the same way. Small and medium-sized businesses must adopt digital tools<\/strong> if they want to remain competitive <\/strong>and grow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The government recognizes this challenge and has put in place the Canadian Digital Adoption Program (CDAP).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal is to help businesses go digital, increase their online presence and digitize their business operations. To this end, the Government of Canada has committed $4 billion to this program in the 2021 budget<\/strong>. CANP provides funding <\/strong>and support<\/strong> to businesses, as well as training <\/strong>and work opportunities<\/strong> for young Canadians. It has two distinct components:<\/p>\n

– Growing Your Business Online<\/u><\/em><\/strong>: allowing businesses to apply for a micro-grant and access e-business advisors to help them go digital and take advantage of e-business opportunities.<\/p>\n

– Enhance Your Business Technology<\/strong><\/u><\/em>: applying for a grant to help develop a digital adoption plan, and taking advantage of paid internships to help with your digital transformation.<\/p>\n
