DCC Technology Demonstration Program (TDP)
Currently closed for applications — historical DMAP follow-on stream
Overview
DCC TDP is closed; do not quote it as active implementation funding
OCI currently lists Technology Demonstration Program (TDP) as closed for applications. The guide remains useful for understanding the historical follow-on path from DMAP, but it should not appear as a live customer funding promise.
For implementation projects, route customers toward active regional business scale-up, training, SR&ED, export, software-credit, or partner-financing options while monitoring OCI for new intake details.
The product should frame implementation support as a support path, not as guaranteed TDP reimbursement.

Rate
No current intake
Example Recovery
$0 current TDP contribution
Do not include TDP as active recoverable funding until OCI reopens applications.
Worked Example
Your spend
$250K ERP + automation deployment
You recover
$0 current TDP contribution
Note
Use active alternatives and monitor OCI for reopening.
Application Process
Confirm intake status
Check OCI DCC before quoting any TDP contribution.
Define implementation scope
Document software, workflow, security, integration, and training needs.
Match active alternatives
Route the customer toward active funding, partner, or financing paths.
Monitor OCI
If TDP reopens, convert the implementation scope into an application-ready package.
Common Mistakes
Quoting closed implementation funding
Do not tell customers TDP will fund implementation while OCI lists applications as closed.
Skipping the business case
Even without TDP, implementation projects need clear ROI, budget, timeline, owners, and vendor accountability.
Underestimating the implementation timeline
Technology deployments always take longer than planned. Build a practical buffer before promising outcomes.
