Government Invests in Growth for Nova Scotia Businesses

The government is making the Innovation Rebate Program a permanent program and investing $12 million each year to help Nova Scotia businesses thrive.

Susan Corkum-Greek, Minister of Economic Development, made the announcement to a business audience today, March 3. Two other pilot rebate programs – the Forestry Innovation Rebate Program and the Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Rebate Program – will be combined with the Innovation Rebate Program to form a single program, effective April 1. The three programs had been set to end March 31.

Since their inception, rebates through these programs have led to companies of all sizes committing to 38 projects in 14 counties across the province.

We are focused on investing in solutions that work and these innovation rebates have a proven track record of success. This program will help more Nova Scotia businesses adopt new technologies and innovative solutions and advance our government’s priority of helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint and become more sustainable and competitive.
