Your real odds
CQDM caps its contribution at $500K per year regardless of how large your project is, so scale alone will not get you more funding.
CQDM funds a select number of multi-year collaborative projects each cycle, and industry partners must commit real cash before you apply, at least 20% of eligible expenses for the SME track and 40% for the large enterprise track.
What it takes
Secure at least one eligible Quebec business partner willing to commit cash co-funding (20%+ for SME track, 40%+ for LE track)Weeks to months of relationship-building
Design an R&D project at TRL 1–6 with student involvement and a clear Quebec socio-economic benefit2–4 weeks
Prepare and submit application by the deadline, including budget breakdown and funding structure2–4 weeks
Worth knowing
The SME track lets CQDM cover up to 40% of eligible expenses compared to 20% on the large enterprise track, and both are capped at $1.5M over three years, which makes the SME track the more accessible path for smaller collaborations.
