CME SMART Program - Additional Funding Available CME has announced that FedDev Ontario has signed an agreement to extend the SMART II funding program to March 31, 2011. Although no additional funding has been secured, this extension has allowed CME-SMART to receive new applications to replace a number of previously funded slots that have opened up due to cancellations. If new funding for the SMART II program is secured, BW&A will post a notice on our website. Contact BW&A for more information. BW&A specializes in helping manufacturers implement productivity improvement programs that can deliver a significant return on investment. The SMART program presents an opportunity to apply for direct financial support to offset a significant portion of the costs related to these improvement programs and accelerate their resulting financial benefits. Contact BW&A for more information about SMART and how it can benefit your company. A preliminary discussion is always available without any obligation on your part. ACHIEVING INNOVATION & MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE – AIME Program The Yves Landry Foundation has announced that all of the available funding for the 2009/10 FedDev AIME program has been exhausted, but encourages manufacturers to continue to submit preliminary applications for training grants, and states that it will review these first if it launches a new program for 2010/11.
