Digital Adoption Program

ACADA is providing support to SMEs (1-500 employees) in the Aerospace, Defence, and Security industries for Digital Adoption projects.

In our most recent survey, our members indicated they need help covering the cost of various digital adoption projects to remain competitive and maintain market access. ACADA is here to help in covering 65% of project costs up to the maximum of $20,000 project for five of our core members! Plus, the funding is flexible up to the maximum amount. For example, if you have $10,000 budgeted for digital adoption this year, ACADA can cover $6,500 of that total under this program.
