What is BDC LIFT?
BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada) launched the LIFT program in April 2026 as a $500 million initiative to help Canadian small and medium-sized businesses adopt artificial intelligence.
The program is specifically designed to remove the financing barrier that stops Canadian SMEs from implementing AI — and it prioritizes Canadian-developed tools.
