R&D In Canadian Regions

Vancouver is the premier destination for CleanTech, Digital Media, and Life Sciences. While the lifestyle attracts the world’s best builders, scaling in Vancouver requires a serious cash-flow engine to offset West Coast costs. For 2026, new federal rules allow even larger Vancouver firms to access the 35% refundable rate. GrowWise is your local partner in capturing that capital; we dive into your Green-tech, E-commerce innovations or anywhere in between, to secure every SR&ED dollar available, letting you focus on the mountains and your next big release.
