“Business as usual” might never be the same again. Due to the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have been shutting operations. The larger corporations are able to stave off total collapse, but the smaller firms have been unable to cope with the losses mounting daily. In Canada, the situation isn’t any different, and even places like New Brunswick have felt the devastating economic effect of the pandemic.
In such a time, what is needed is a concerted effort to bring the economy back on track. This may be achieved by helping the businesses, one by one. Businesses need to implement modern solutions to achieve their objectives.
This is where TechImpact comes in. Working with the financial support of ACOA and the Government of New Brunswick, TechImpact aims to give New Brunswick businesses a “Digital Boost.” This can help firms become more productive and resilient by adopting new technologies while working with New Brunswick IT services firms.
Working with qualified New Brunswick-based IT partners, businesses based out of the area will now be able to implement new technology solutions and boost digital marketing through this program. Furthermore, the program covers around 75% of the cost of these technology projects, up to a maximum of 50,000 USD, for qualified businesses. All you need to do to undertake a project is to apply and work with a Digital Boost Qualified Technology Provider.
There are two branches to this program.
