Under the Mitacs Elevate program, partner organizations must be:

• a for-profit Canadian corporation
• the Canadian business location of a foreign-owned for-profit corporation with significant Canadian operations
• a not-for-profit corporation, such as an economic development organization, an industry association, a charitable organization, or a social-welfare organization in Canada. Please contact elevate@mitacs.ca to discuss the eligibility of a specific not-for-profit organization before submission of the completed application package.
• a hospital or municipality in Canada. Please contact elevate@mitacs.ca to discuss the eligibility of projects with hospitals, or municipalities before submission of the completed application package

Partners should be potential end users of the research, with a vested interest in the results.
