Grow Your Business Online – Canada Digital Adoption Program
How we do business has changed. To stay competitive and grow, small and medium-sized businesses need to adopt new digital tools. The Government of Canada recently introduced the Canada Digital Adoption Program. Grow Your Business Online grants will help small businesses use digital tools to build their online presence, sell their products online and offer their customers a better service. Eligible businesses will receive a micro-grant of up to $2,400 to help with the costs related to adopting digital technologies.
