Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant

Small- and medium-sized manufacturers can get funding to help boost their productivity and increase competitiveness on the global stage.

Overview

The Alberta Manufacturing Productivity Grant (AMPG) is a 2-year pilot program, beginning in mid-2025, funded by the Government of Alberta and administered by the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME).

Through the AMPG, over $4 million is available for eligible small- and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, which includes access to advice, expertise and up to $30,000 in matching funding for technology upgrades and new machinery and equipment. These investments in long-term production assets and technology will aim to enhance manufacturing businesses’ productivity, capacity and market entry.

This funding will help to provide successful applicants with the resources they need to boost their productivity. The grant will empower local business owners to invest in new technologies, machinery and equipment while driving job creation and accelerating growth in Alberta’s manufacturing sector. The pilot program is expected to support approximately 130 small- and medium-sized businesses.

Eligibility

Manufacturing companies from any sector are eligible to apply to the pilot program if they have a physical location in Alberta which makes, refines, refurbishes or processes a product or material, uses or locates the equipment or technology from the grant in Alberta and employs between 5 and 750 employees.
