For the benefit of society

Recipients of FIT funding are receiving public money for the betterment of society. FIT is therefore designed with the intention of promoting knowledge-sharing, best practices and scalability. Given this context, we require organizations to share/license their intellectual property developed or enhanced as a result of funding.

Are you willing to share/license your intellectual property with the Government of Canada?
