Strategy that delivers results
Nomisma leverages deep government experience to help agri-food processors navigate complex funding systems and secure incentives that drive modernization, resilience, and growth.
A trusted guide for Canada’s agri-food sector
Every agri-food processor in Canada is on a journey to stay competitive, reduce costs, and modernize operations while continuing to feed Canadian families. But navigating government funding is complex — programs are competitive, timelines are tight, and requirements are constantly evolving.
Nomisma guides that journey.
Founded by Jim Kourtis, Nomisma Consulting Group works with agri-food companies across Canada — with a specialized focus on dairy processing — to leverage deep government experience and secure funding that delivers real financial outcomes. We align capital projects with provincial and federal priorities such as job creation, regional impact, production growth, and sustainability to strengthen applications and improve approval success.
Our work goes beyond applications. We position projects in a way that resonates with government decision-makers, ensuring they are not only eligible, but competitive.
Nomisma has helped secure tens of millions of dollars in government funding for some of the largest global dairy processors, as well as growing Canadian agri-food companies — enabling modernization, improving efficiency, and reducing the cost of food production.
