Cybersecurity Innovation and Certification

Formerly PICQ

For the past five years, Prompt has managed funding programs dedicated to supporting innovative projects in cybersecurity. The latest version of the program also allowed businesses to receive financial assistance for obtaining cybersecurity certifications.

All available funding under this program has now been allocated. We encourage you to submit new funding applications through the Collaborative Innovation Program.

Responsive to Your Needs


Prompt will continue supporting businesses that received funding under this program until March 2026. At the same time, we remain attentive to the evolving cybersecurity needs of Quebec-based companies, which will help shape the development of a new program in the future.
