The Regional Tariff Response Initiative provides funding to small and medium-sized businesses affected by tariffs and trade disruption.
Funding is intended to help businesses improve productivity, reduce costs, strengthen supply chains, adopt new technologies and equipment, and enter or expand into new markets. Eligibility requirements include business size, employment and location criteria, along with demonstrated exposure to tariff-related pressures.
The federal government announced additional funding for the initiative on August 25, 2026. Businesses should review FedDev Ontario’s current eligibility and application information for the latest program details.
