Your real odds
The program has facilitated over $350M in total project value against a $100M contribution milestone, so the pool is active and the competition is real.
INSAT is backed by $350M in government funding and anchored by industry partners including Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bombardier, and CAE, which sets the bar for what a credible project looks like. Applications move through a multi-stage evaluation committee before reaching a board review, so the selection process has multiple gates to clear.

Worth knowing
Every funded project must include at least one SME as a collaborator, and if you are a larger company or an academic institution, arriving without that partner already confirmed puts you behind applicants who have. If you are an SME, you are a structural requirement for any application in this program, which is a real positional advantage.
