NACO Report on a Unified Capital Strategy 102125BM10

Component 2: Enhanced Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative (VCCI) Strengthening the Growth Engine

The Gap: Continued expansion requires enhanced institutional participation and increased fund sizes to compete globally.

The Solution: Building on VCCI's proven track record:

Expand investment capacity to support larger fund sizes Increase institutional LP participation through targeted pension fund and endowment incentives Enhance sector specialization in critical areas like AI, clean technology, and advanced manufacturing Strengthen follow-on funding to reduce Series A/B gaps

Impact: Ensures promising companies graduating from ECCI have access to growth capital needed to scale within Canada's innovation ecosystem.
