Among the 50 most recent disclosed Canada grant rounds shown, the largest disclosed award is Qu Biologics Inc. at $7M (2022-10-17). That $7M figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts visible here (notably $13M at 2022-08-03 for ZayZoon and several $8M and $5M+ rounds), while most other disclosed grants cluster between roughly $200K and $3M (for example, $2M–$3M rounds for Seneca College on 2022-10-26, Shinydocs on 2022-10-07, and Treventis on 2022-10-18). A second pattern is concentration: the listing is dense in August 2022, where multiple awards land on the same dates (e.g., 2022-08-17 and 2022-08-14) and a large share of large-ticket biotech/AI/business services awards are headquartered in Ontario (Toronto, Kitchener, Markham, Milton). Outliers exist both by geography and by disclosure: many rows are “undisclosed” amounts, including several 2022-08-17 entries (such as Akuntsu, Big Viking Games, Blue Ant Media, E.D. FILMS, Game Hive, LyricFind, Mazaam Interactive, Meta4 Interactive, and Uken Games), while the smallest disclosed amount in the dataset is $30K for VoxCell BioInnovation (2022-10-03). Overall, the rows span 2022-06-02 through the most recent date 2022-10-26 (Seneca College).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the largest in this Canada grants list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amount is Qu Biologics Inc. at $7M (2022-10-17). It sits well above the most common disclosed range in this table (frequent $220K–$3M awards like Flash Forest $220K on 2022-10-03, Treventis $3M on 2022-10-18, and Shinydocs $3M on 2022-10-07).
Are there notable date clusters where multiple grant rounds land on the same day?
Yes. Several rounds group tightly in mid-to-late August 2022, including a dense set dated 2022-08-17 across multiple sectors, with many “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Akuntsu, Big Viking Games, Blue Ant Media, and others), plus multiple visible amounts earlier that month on 2022-08-14 (such as OceanSync and ZeroIN, both “undisclosed,” dated the same day). There are also multiple entries on 2022-10-18 (including Adapsyn Bioscience, Sentire, and Treventis).
Do any sectors appear repeatedly, and do they skew toward certain ticket sizes?
Biotechnology appears frequently (examples include Adapsyn Bioscience 2022-10-18 undisclosed, Treventis $3M on 2022-10-18, Qu Biologics Inc. $7M on 2022-10-17, VoxCell BioInnovation $30K on 2022-10-03, and Awakn Life Sciences $2M on 2022-07-20). Within those biotech rows, disclosed amounts vary widely—from $30K (VoxCell BioInnovation) to multi-million rounds like Qu Biologics Inc. and Treventis $3M—so biotech is over-represented but not tightly grouped by grant size.
Which city shows up most often across the rows, and is Ontario a concentration point?
Ontario is a strong concentration point, with many entries based in Toronto and nearby cities like Kitchener and Markham (for example, Seneca College in Toronto on 2022-10-26, Encircle in Kitchener on 2022-10-07, and Adastra in Markham on 2022-08-22). Toronto alone appears multiple times (Seneca College 2022-10-26; Treventis 2022-10-18; Flash Forest 2022-10-03; Peak Power 2022-07-12; among others), indicating hub-like clustering within Ontario.
Are there disclosure outliers (very small disclosed vs many undisclosed) that change how the dataset should be interpreted?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount is $30K for VoxCell BioInnovation (2022-10-03), while many entries provide “undisclosed” amounts, including a large August 17 cluster (multiple gaming, media, and advertising listings such as Game Hive and LyricFind). That mix means comparisons based on disclosed amounts can over-emphasize the subset with published figures.
