Funding for Small Business
The Ontario Emerging Technologies Fund was created due to emerging challenges from technology companies experiencing difficulty in raising venture capital. These Canadian government grants will drive start-up investments in green technology companies and other high-tech businesses. The Provincial Government has provided $250M in business funding grants under this funding program, committing to a maximum of $50 million per year for five years.
