Even in aquaculture, October isn’t just for pumpkin spice—it’s for facing the ghosts that haunt your innovation plans. One of the scariest? Funding delays.

Luckily, the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC) has the tools to summon support and banish those financial phantoms. From collaborative project grants to targeted challenge funds and third-party guidance, SAIC helps innovators turn funding fears into real-world progress.

Whether you’re an industry partner, academic ally, or ambitious start-up, the path to funding doesn’t have to feel like a haunted maze—SAIC can light the way.

Innovation is everywhere in our industry—but turning breakthroughs into market-ready solutions often comes down to one thing: funding. The good news? Support is available. If you’re a Canadian SME working on clean technologies or aquaculture innovations, the NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) could be the key to unlocking your next big step.
