TECTERRA Announces New Call for Proposals for Geomatics Prototyping and Pilot Projects in Alberta
CALGARY, January, 20, 2011:
TECTERRA Inc. launched a new funding opportunity today that provides support
for geomatics technology prototyping and pilot projects (p2P)
in Alberta. The p2P funding is accessible through a
Call for Proposals (CFP) and is available for Small and Medium Enterprises
(SME). The objective of this funding program is to assist companies in the
commercialization of their geomatics solutions for integrated resource
management and other geospatial information management applications.
“We’re pleased to include the p2P
program as a part of TECTERRA’s overall suite of funding programs,”
says Richard Gorecki, TECTERRA’s Director of Commercialization. “This
program will provide companies with the financial capacity they need in
order to take their geomatics technology through the last phase of
development and validation and bring the product to the marketplace.”
The projects sought under this CFP are open to
Alberta SME companies, including start-up companies, with proven technology
ready for prototyping, testing and pilot stages prior to full scale
implementation and commercialization.
TECTERRA’s contribution under this CFP will vary
by project and will generally range from $100K to $400K per project, up to
75 per cent of the total project cost.
