This Innovation PEI program pays investors a direct rebate for buying equity in approved PEI-based companies, making it easier for those companies to raise private capital. The rebate is up to 20 percent of the investment, capped at $200,000 in total rebates per approved company. The company must be a private PEI corporation in a strategic export sector, with fewer than 50 employees and at least one year of operating history.
