AGRI INNOVER is a MAPAQ (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec) program that supports innovation, R&D, and technology adoption in Quebec's agricultural sector. It funds projects that improve productivity, sustainability, and competitiveness of agricultural producers and agri-food companies.

Funding amounts vary by project type and competition round. Hubvention evaluates your specific AGRI INNOVER potential during the initial audit, based on current program parameters and your project profile.

Quebec agricultural producers, agri-food processors, cooperatives, and producer organizations are eligible. The project must relate to Quebec agricultural production or processing and demonstrate clear innovation or productivity improvement outcomes.

Qualifying projects include precision agriculture technologies, smart farming systems, new crop or livestock production techniques, sustainable farming innovations, agri-food processing R&D, and feasibility studies for novel agricultural approaches.

Yes. Agricultural R&D projects often qualify for both AGRI INNOVER (provincial grant) and SR&ED (federal tax credit). Hubvention structures both mandates simultaneously to maximize the total recovery on qualifying agricultural R&D expenditures.

AGRI INNOVER provides non-repayable grants to qualifying agricultural innovation projects. Specific terms, coverage percentages, and caps are set by MAPAQ for each program cycle.

AGRI INNOVER is available to companies with an active establishment in Quebec, across all Quebec agricultural regions — from the Montérégie to the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean and the Gaspésie.

Hubvention handles the complete AGRI INNOVER mandate: eligibility audit, project framing against MAPAQ criteria, technical narrative drafting, budget structuring, and submission. We combine AGRI INNOVER with SR&ED for maximum recovery on agricultural innovation investments.
