What is a Venture Capital Action Plan?

The Venture Capital Action Plan is a Canadian government initiative that encourages private investment in early-stage companies by matching private capital with public funding.

For example, a Canadian biotech company receives matching funding through the Venture Capital Action Plan when a private VC invests $2 million, with the government contributing an additional $1 million — effectively tripling the available capital and reducing the private investor's risk in an early-stage deal.
