- Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher technologies. If achieving TRL 6 is imminent, late TRL 5 technologies will be considered.
- Canadian and international small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are non-subsidiary, and independent technology development firms that employ fewer than 500 employees.
- Canadian and international technology development startups that are non-subsidiary, independent technology development firms that employ fewer than 100 employees, generate less than CAD $25 million in annual revenues, and are focused on developing and scaling up pre-commercial technologies.

- Our mission is to advance clean technologies that improve environmental outcomes, boost economic competitiveness, and eliminate or reduce barriers to sustainability.
- NGIF IG is wholly funded by the Canadian natural gas industry.
- NGIF IG exists to support Canada’s natural gas industry with non-dilutive funding to identify emerging innovations and support development and scale-up to commercialize these innovations.
- NGIF IG enables validation and customer creation to give start-up organizations the final push for market adoption.
- NGIF IG supports the development, demonstration, and de-risking of clean technology solutions for the gaseous energy industry through field trials and pilot projects to drive innovation and support environmental goals in Canada.
