Business Innovation and Growth Support program
The purpose of the Business Innovation and Growth Support (BIGS) statistical program is to contribute to improving the performance evaluation of innovation and growth-related programs delivered by federal departments and agencies. The BIGS database covers government activities that support business innovation and growth, such as funding and consulting services for enterprises, provided directly or in partnership, for industry-facing research and development, technology development and commercialization, and exports.

Entrepreneurship Indicators Database program
The Entrepreneurship Indicators Database program provides data describing the dynamics of a subset of Canadian enterprises, such as the number of active enterprises with one or more employees, the number of births and deaths of active enterprises with one or more employees, the number of jobs associated with enterprise births and deaths, the survival of newly created enterprises, and the number of high-growth enterprises and gazelles. These integrated entrepreneurship data facilitate analysis for government researchers and academics who have a strategic interest in promoting the growth of enterprises. The data can also be used to encourage and promote entrepreneurship.
